Chawton House is open to the public every Thursday afternoon throughout the year for a guided tour at 2.30pm. Group appointments can also be booked in advance, usually Monday to Friday between 10.00am and 4.00pm, although we are happy to discuss weekend visits.
All facilities are available outside these times for hire.
