AVAILABILITY
Tours can be pre-booked for any day of the week, any
time of day after 9am. The site closes, at the latest,
at 10pm. Please telephone in the first instance to discuss
suitable dates. Your chosen day and time will then be
held for two weeks awaiting confirmation in writing.
On Event days, although we welcome groups, offering
a discount of £1 a head on the entry price, no
pre-booked tours are available. Please see our brochure
or the website for exact dates and entry prices.
ADMISSION
Our minimum group size for a pre-booked tour is 15
people; we are happy to accept fewer but normal entry
prices (£6.25 pp) apply. A group larger than thirty
people would be taken round the house in two groups
since some of the rooms are quite small. Children accompanying
an adult group are half-price.
Once a date has been agreed, please return the completed
form with a deposit of £30 - refundable in full
on cancellation up to 60 days before the visit. The
balance is to be paid on the day of the visit. Cheques
payable to "Sulgrave Manor Board".
