A highlight for visitors will include seeing the latest addition to the Gothic Library – the Soane table – an original piece of Stowe furniture that has now returned thanks to a generous donation by the George Clarke Foundation.

You'll explore rooms normally closed to visitors including the incredible Gothic Library designed by Sir John Soane, the beautiful Japan room and take a sneak peek at some newly discovered eighteenth-century wall paintings! Join us to discover more of Stowe's fascinating history.

Stowe House is an architectural masterpiece. Once the home of a wealthy and politically influential family, the house was built to reflect the family's social and political ideals. These beliefs can still be viewed today through the architecture, interior decoration and art found within the house. The Stowe House Preservation Trust is continually working to restore, maintain and preserve this iconic site that has inspired artists, poets, and creative thinkers for generations.

Pre-booking essential.
Please note some areas of this tour are only accessed via staircase.
