Shop

The Kentwell shop is situated in one of Kentwell's octagonal gatehouse, here you can buy many things from fish food for the moat carp, to postcards and other souvenirs suitable for children and adults. This is also where you can buy Kentwell's Rare Breed Meat, traditionally reared along Organic principles.

Refreshments

If you are keen to know what refreshments will be open on your day of visit, please call Kentwell (01787 310207), as we cannot guarantee that any of the below areas will be open (there is usually one however).

Undercroft - This is situated underneath the east wing the house, the undercroft has a wonderful atmosphere with a huge mural painted on its walls depicting Tudor and WWII life. We tend to serve hot lunches, and teas. What we have to offer varies on an event basis!

Stableyard Kitchen - Often open on days which are usually busy or have a focus on the farm, we tend to server burgers, sausages, bacon (all Kentwell's meat of course!), home made soup, chips, hot and cold drinks.

Spit Roast - On some busy days you may find that Kentwell has a spit roast of either Pork or Lamb, both Rare Breed meet from the Kentwell Farm.

Picnics - Kentwell does not allow picnics within the grounds due to problems with litter, you can however picnic in our picnic area which is just next to the gatehouses, with a view of the house (except in the Great Annual Re-Creation), and also picnicking in our Avenue and Car Park are also allowed.

Disabled Access

Kentwell has disabled access to the ground floor of the house, disabled toilet, plus parking. Many areas of the grounds also have paths suitable for wheelchairs but the upper areas of the buildings are not accessible by wheel chair but handrails are always there.

Car park

Kentwell has the advantage of parking within 100m of the entrance to the grounds etc. The car park is a field however and the right footwear should be worn!

Please look at our Interactive Map to see where everything is around Kentwell.

Dogs 

For most events no dogs, except guide dogs, are allowed within the grounds. They may be exercised in our avenue or car park field,  shady parking spaces however are not always available.
