Harewood is a great family day out. Visit the Adventure Playground, explore the Gardens and Bird Gardens, take a boat trip across the lake or marvel at the collections in the House. With an extensive programme of events and exhibitions, Harewood offers something for all.
Built by Edwin Lascelles between 1759 and 1771, Harewood House is a fine example of the English country house. The estate was bought by the Lascelles family in 1738. Their increasing wealth had brought a rise in social and political standing and Edwin Lascelles, the first Lord Harewood, wanted a house to reflect this, He commissioned the greatest names in the making of an English Country House, including Thomas Chippendale who was commissioned to provide all the furniture.
Harewood House is host to a wide range of exciting and entertaining events. From open-air theatre to car rallies; pop concerts to classical recitals our events diary has something to suit everyone.
