Preston Manor: 2026 season

Once home to Charles and Ellen Thomas Stanford, this grand Edwardian house is alive with glamour, intrigue, and history. Step into 1912 and experience life upstairs and downstairs as costumed staff bring the manor’s stories to life. For the 2026 season, explore the reopened top floor, revealing fresh secrets of the Stanford family and their servants, and don’t miss our new History of the Manor exhibition. From the bustling kitchen below stairs to the elegant rooms above, every corner tells a story. Enjoy a visit to the Manor Tearoom by Café Rust, nestled in one of Ellen Stanford’s favourite rooms and watched over by her charming ‘Dogs of Fo’ collection.
