Events & Open Days

Manderston can accommodate up to 120 guests seated for an event with access to the opulent marble hall, drawing room, morning room (which opens onto the terrace) and stunning ballroom. Many of our guests take advantage of the magnificent silver staircase in the marble hall for a truly unique photo opportunity.

The house and grounds are available for exclusive use for all filming and photo shoot requirements. There are a variety of interesting and unique film locations including the marble dairy, the original kitchen and servant’s quarters in the basement, the stables, the beautiful gardens and the boathouse by the lake. Recently, television shows The Buccaneers, Belgravia and Outlander were shot at Manderston, as well as the film, The Princess Switch 2.

In 2026 our Open Days are as follows: Every day from Friday 3rd April (Good Friday) – Monday 27th April 2026 (inclusive).

Manderston is a private house, however every year we have an allocated number of set days where we are open to the public to visit.

There is free onsite parking for all coaches and cars. There is no cafe onsite, however picnics are allowed in the grounds. No dogs or animals are allowed on the grounds, except for guide dogs.
