Deene Park has been the home of the Brudenell family for 500 years since 1514 and was the seat of the 7th Earl of Cardigan who led the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1854.

As Deene Park is a fully-functioning family home, private guided tours are generally accommodated Tuesday to Thursday from 10am onwards.
A tour of the house typically lasts 90 minutes; the room sizes vary therefore large groups of more than 20 people will be divided into smaller groups to avoid overcrowding.
On private tour days, the Old Kitchen tearoom provides a cosy atmosphere for groups wishing to take refreshments during their visit. (All catering must be pre-booked).
