Sulgrave Manor season

Sulgrave Manor is closed to day visitors for the winter, and its what's on page (opens in a new tab) says it reopens in March 2027. It has not given the day, so we will not guess one. The only date it has published before then is Candlelight Christmas on Saturday 5 December 2026, which is why that is the date this page shows until the season is announced.

Opening times in season

In season the manor opens on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, from 10.30am to 4pm, with last entry at 3pm. You see the house on the hour, at 11am, midday, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm, with a short talk to start. No advance ticket is needed, and walk-ins are welcome. The manor warns that special events can change the open days, so check before you drive out. Its season ticket page gives entry from March to September, which is the nearest thing it publishes to an end date.

Prices

On the manor's prices when we checked in November 2026, adults pay £10, children aged 5 to 15 pay £5, and a family of up to two adults and three children pays £25, or £11, £5.50 and £27.50 with Gift Aid. Under-5s and carers go free. Historic Houses members show their card. A single season ticket is £35. The page gives no year for these prices, so check them before the 2027 season.

Candlelight Christmas and winter visits

Candlelight Christmas is a Tudor-themed tour of the manor by candlelight, for adults only, on Saturday 5 December 2026 from 5pm to 7pm. It costs £20 including mulled wine and a mince pie, and must be booked ahead in the online shop. Private tours run through the winter: email enquiries@sulgravemanor.org.uk or ring 01295 760205.

Getting there and parking

The manor is in Sulgrave, north east of Banbury, with a free car park about 150m from reception on a gravel path. Ask at reception about closer access by the side entrance.

Before you go

House entry is on the hour, so time your arrival for the start of a tour. Sulgrave Manor and the Washingtons separates the record from the stories told about the place, and castles and houses near Banbury suggests others for the same trip.
