As part of The Assembly House Trust’s commitment to share the wonders of The Assembly House with the public, the Trust invites you to amble around the corridors, crypt and rooms of the House in the capable hands of art historian and tour guide Roxanne Matthews. Come and feed your minds and souls with tales of a medieval college, Tudor spoils, Georgian arts, 19th century dancing, a school, top secret camouflage school and more. Includes a visit to the crypt which has steep stairs and uneven floors. Not suitable for children under the age of 10.
Free tours run monthly, you must be booked on to the tour to take part. Follow our Assembly House Trust Instagram and Facebook pages to find out more information. Tickets for tours are announced on our social media pages where details are given about how to request tickets - please be aware, these places book very quickly and there are only 20 spaces per tour.
We hope that you are able to join us for a tour which is funded by The Assembly House Trust, an arts charity which works to promote the House and its special heritage. We are hugely grateful to the Trust and to Roxanne, who has been leading these free tours for many years.
