Valentines Mansion and Gardens

Valentines Mansion is a beautifully restored 300 year old country house in the grounds of Valentines Park. It has a grand staircase and elegant period rooms, including the recreated Victorian kitchen and Georgian rooms with gorgeous views over surrounding parkland.  The third floor has been converted into artist' studios, which visitors can often view during open studio days where they are able to meet the artists and view their work. The mansion is often host to art exhibitions and installations.

The Grade II* listed building is also perfect for a whole host of functions, from weddings and celebrations to corporate events. Valentines Mansion and Gardens also has wide varied programme of events throughout the year including guided tours, creative workshops, special events and children's holiday activities, for more details visit the Vision website.
