Description

May Day at Audley End

Roll up, roll up and see May Day fun as it used to be! Enjoy our Victorian side shows and brass band, and marvel at our incredible displays of Victorian falconry. Then watch as your little ones learn circus skills or take part in a play. All of which, coupled with the spectacular house and grounds at Audley End, is sure to make this a day out to remember for all the family!

Enjoy a great day out at one of England’s grandest stately homes; Audley End House.

The doors of our restored historic stables recently opened, complete with resident horses and a Victorian groom. Our stables experience includes an exhibition where you can find out about the workers who lived on the estate in the 1880s, the tack house and the Audley End fire engine. Try our dressing up clothes in the stables and meet our horses, Duke and Jack, too.

Children can let loose in our fun themed play area next to our Cart Yard Café which is always very popular with visitors.

Audley End House itself is a magnificent house, built to entertain royalty, and includes a Victorian Service Wing complete with kitchen, laundries and a dairy.

With beautiful grounds to explore, including an impressive formal garden and the working Organic Kitchen Garden, there’s so much to see and do at Audley End House.

Originally adapted from a medieval Benedictine monastery, the house and gardens at Audley End were amongst the largest and most opulent in Jacobean England. Today Audley End is set in a tranquil landscape with stunning views across the unspoilt Essex countryside. Visitors can enjoy the painstakingly restored parterre with its eye-catching bedding scheme and a walled kitchen garden run entirely on organic principles. It's possible to see elements of English gardening on a grand scale at Audley End carried out by the most influential designers of the day such as Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
