Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This was an unplanned stop after we saw the NT signs whilst in the area and it was well worth it.
The house has a very striking exterior and whilst the house and grounds may not be as grand or as large as some other local properties, it still has a very interesting interior, lovely grounds for a short walk plus the usual National Trust café and second hand books etc.
Unusually, this house is also heavily geared towards children and there are lots of things to both entertain and educate them including books and toys plus activities and displays to help them understand and enjoy the property and history. Highly recommended

An excellent place to spend all day with your family. There are a huge variety of activities for children of all ages to take part in, as well as numerous displays of the toys through the centuries. The displays are presented well too.
The staff are friendly and relate well to children. The café is also excellent with efficient and patient staff who kept smiling throughout the day.

Went on a weekend. The upstairs of the hall was shut. They have removed the interactive wall from the children’s section. The writing corner downstairs had been removed. Most things were closed or off limits. We spent an hour before leaving out of boredom. Not sure how they can still charge full price!

This beautiful house and garden is a party for children. In the museum everything is aimed at children. They can dress up, talk about books in groups, a living closet etc. We loved seeing old paintings with children's texts about the thoughts of the persons underneath. Especially with children worth it! Is from the NT and with the explorer pass free to visit.

A nice visit to Sudbury Hall and museum of childhood. The museum will certainly bring back the memories as there is plenty to see. Some nice walks around the grounds and the mansion is interesting. Overall a good visit.

We've visited Sudbury on numerous occasions in the past but we were quite disappointed on our most recent visit as a family. Previously, it was possible to go into the park to walk our dogs without needing to pay the entrance fee for the house and museum but it is no longer possible to do this. In the past we would walk the dogs/visit the cafe and gift shop but the gift shop has now gone. The cost of £24 each for an adult means that we will no longer be able to do this. We paid the £24 each and took it in turns to visit the museum and house but it wasn't worth that amount and I doubt we'll return.

We went without children as we had been told it was interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed. A member of staff suggested we go into the Hall first as it was quiet, great idea. We did not have to listen to any talk and wandered freely. Everywhere is designed to show how children may have lived at the time. Very thoughful touches such as books you can actually pick up to look at and a 'world' carpet in the little study/library. I particulalry enjoyed the 'speech bubbles' on the paintings which gave little nuggets of information to allow you to interpret the paintings. A technqiue which could be used in other NT properties.
We followed up with a fascinating visit to the museum which was just one nostalgic memory after another!
We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our visit.

I was a bit skeptical about going after reading the reviews and was expecting a half an hour trek from the carpark. It was literally a five minute walk along a lovely windy path with amazing views of the meadows and hall. There was also parking on the road outside the hall. The staff were very welcoming and the hall and grounds were well maintained. My children who are 4 and 8 had the most amazing time and learnt a lot about the hall itself. It's so clever how they made history fun and interactive for children. They particularly loved preparing pretend food in the kitchen, learning about the paintings and dressing up in period clothes. The additions of the photo booth style paintings and disco room were brilliant. They particularly loved sitting down in the library areas and reading books and the interactive cards where you have to spot things in the room. It was nice to be a part of history instead of being told not to touch. The toy museum itself was amazing, especially the space room. There was also lots to do in the courtyard area with lots of outdoor toys, a woodland play area and stunning views of the lake. The food was good quality but as you expect a bit pricey, especially the cold drinks. It was £3.30 for a bottle of water or juice! There is free tap water if you ask though and plenty of picnic benches. They even have an ice cream parlour. I like the addition of the locker room next to the hall so you don't have to carry all your stuff around. We'll definitely be returning again, my children loved it and keep talking about how great it was.

Sunday 2nd June 2024, My husband and I went out for the day to visit Sudbury Hall & National Trust Museum of Childhood at Sudbury in Derbyshire, which is owned by The National Trust. We last visited here six years ago.
As the weather forecast said it would be bright and sunny which it was all day. We arrived and after parking the car we decided to visit Sudbury Hall first and then go round the gardens.
Sudbury Hall is a large, elegant house, which was the home of the ‘Vernon’ family until 1963, when it was gifted to The National Trust due to crippling death duties.
The builder of the hall George Vernon, through a succession of advantageous marriages enabled the legacy of Sudbury Hall to grow and thrive until the nineteen sixties.
The wives of the Vernon family have also left their legacy at Sudbury Hall. Through marriage, these women brought wealth, connections or improved social standing to the family.
George Vernon made the first advantageous marriage which provided him with the funds to build the hall which we see today. In 1660, he married Margaret Onley, with whom he had nine children - six daughters and one son surviving her.
Just one year after Margaret died, George married Dorothea Shirley who through her titled parents provided a higher social standing to the family.
They married in 1676 and had celebrations at nearby Staunton Harold Church. They had two daughters before she died in childbirth in 1680.
When George was 44, he married the 18 year old Catherine Vernon, whose family were successful merchants from London. It was their son Henry who inherited Sudbury.
Henry followed in his father’s footsteps and also married well. His first wife, Anne Pigot, was heiress to property in Shropshire and Cheshire. It was their son who became the 1st Lord in 1762.
Through his first wife, George 2nd Lord, inherited substantial land in Wales, but it was his second wife, Georgiana Fauquier, who was considered a formidable woman; her portrait hangs in the drawing room of Sudbury Hall.
This wealthy trend continued; to bolster the family fortunes and the 7th Lord married an American heiress, Frances Lawrence, whose wealth enabled the building of a new stable block and coach house that we see today. My husband and I found this house fascinating and took lots of photographs of its elegant rooms.
Afterwards, we then for a walk around the lovely gardens with its cupid fountain spraying water into the air and then we found a bench which overlooked the lake and sat in the warm sun and watched swans swimming sedately on the waters. I even found inspiration here as I wrote a poem called ‘Something That Has Been Lost’. We left here when the house closed and went to collect our car from the car park.

What time do the gardens open? I can see times for the tea room, shop, house and museum but was wondering if the gardens follow a set opening time. Thanks

We are coming from the United States and will have one afternoon to visit Sudbury Hall. We are particularly interested in the historical part of things more so than the Children's Museum. Is it possible to arrange for a guided tour of the hall so that we can make the most of our trip, or are guided tours something that are already offered?

Hello. I remember going to Sudbury Hall as a child on a school outing. At that time we could dress up in period costumes. We have a group of Chinese guests coming in the summer of 2019. Could we arrange to have the same kind of introduction. It was such a fond memory and I’m certain they will love it. I remember us being taught about how to wash and iron a price of cloth, and how to roll marzipan treats. Please get back to me and let me know if there is any way we can arrange this for our guests. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Brendan, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately our period costume characters in the schoolroom etc are dependent on our volunteer staffing levels on that particular day. There's still plenty to see and do around the Hall and Museum but unfortunately we cannot guarantee this type of activity will be running. We hope you enjoy your visit! :)

I would like to know what is the best time of year to this property?
Skrevet 19. juni 2018
I would say at any time of the year, as exhibitions and events are going on al the time. Each season is beautiful, so just go whenever you feel like it and enjoy the magic of every season.
I hope this is of help to you.

Why is the phone not answered on a Sunday?
Do you allow Dogs around the Garden and to the Cafe in or out?
Skrevet 9. juli 2017
General office is not manned Saturdays and Sundays.
Dogs permitted in the grounds but limited areas and must be on lead.
Restaurant is in the stable block away from the house but seating is inside and outside with seating also in the car park for picnics. Hope this helps.
