'Discovering Newstead' Celebration

Price: Normal Car Parking and Adult admission apply. Under 16's FREE. Newstead Abbey are proud to unveil our new Discovering Newstead galleries.

Two of our stunning ground floor rooms have been completely redeveloped, to give a comprehensive introduction to Newstead and our most celebrated resident- the extraordinary nineteenth-century poet, Lord Byron.

The galleries have been developed to be accessible for all - in every sense of the phrase. We have consulted with a huge range of local people so that we can share the story of Newstead as widely as possible. The rooms are fully accessible for wheelchair users and for visitors with other access needs. We especially welcome families of all ages to enjoy the space together.

The galleries use historic objects, digital tools and immersive games to tell our unique story. This has been made possible with funding from the Wolfson Fund, Arts Council England and Nottingham City Council.

We are holding a special celebration of these new galleries on Saturday 28th July.

There will be free entry to Newstead Abbey house for under 16s, and we will be offering free family friendly tours all day. (Please note that parking charges will still apply)
