All of Knole's historic showrooms have reopened to visitors in 2019 following the completion of one of the National Trust's biggest ever conservation projects.  Following coffee and biscuits, we will have a guided tour of Knole's ancient courtyards and recently opened Conservation Studio and will hear about Knole's more than 550 years of history and of the Archbishops, Monarchs and members of the Sackville family who have lived there.  After lunch, there will be an opportunity to wander through the showrooms and to visit Lord Sackville's garden.
