What We Do

At Sulgrave Manor Trust we see the Special Relationship as a great example of collaboration, of challenging perceptions about each other, and of working together to overcome differences. It lies at the heart of everything we do and the experiences we offer. Our current programme of activity offers strands for a wide range of audiences.

Open for groups and day visitors to explore the Manor, garden and exhibitions.

Family fun days and school holiday activities using our site and collections to encourage multi-generational groups to collaborate and get creative using our collections and site as a basis for learning together.

Free digital seminars in conjunction with academic partners from the UK and USA for the public, Further and Higher Education students.

Internship placements with Oxford University’s Crankstart programme offering work experience and employability skills building for the most financially challenged students.

Partnership working with charitable organisations to deliver projects designed to benefit both charities users.

Congress to Campus

In November each year Sulgrave Manor plays host to a lively discussion between local sixth formers and former congressmen from the USA. Each programme sees a Republican and a Democrat visit the UK to talk with student and general audiences about contemporary US politics. Working with the US Association of Former Members of Congress, the programme is coordinated by the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library, with support from the British Association for American Studies and the US Embassy London.

Sulgrave Seminar Series

With supporters on both sides of the Atlantic we understand that many of our friends or colleagues may never be able to visit in person. The Sulgrave Seminar Series started in 2021 in response to lockdown and as a way of keeping in touch with our supporters. To date the seminars have featured a range of topics and speakers from a number of leading Universities.

We are proud of our ever increasing network of academic partners and are always eager to respond to their requests for new events or to explore new subjects related to our charitable aims.

All seminars are available on our YouTube channel here.
