Enjoy a great day out at Kirby Hall, exploring the beautiful grounds and rich decoration of one of England’s greatest Elizabethan and 17th-century houses. Step back in time through our new interactive exhibition ‘Kirby Hall: Rise and Fall’ and discover its intriguing past, including once being owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor, and the visits of James I when on royal progress. A must-see is the stunning hand-painted four-poster bed, inspired by a real bed listed on the Hall’s inventory. Wander through the Great Hall, restored to its historical colour palette, and take in the sounds of the blazing fire and guests arriving in the grand reception room. Then put your best step forward and be greeted by music and the sounds of dining in the Great Chamber before having a go at one of our fun interactive games.
