Step back in time below stairs on this new experience at Belton House, offering a unique insight into the history of food at Belton. Discover more about the global ingredients used, how they arrived, and how meals were prepared here up to 1870.

Enjoy an immersive and interactive experience, with the opportunity to discover basement rooms and collection items not usually out on display. The tour will last 30 minutes, and our knowledgeable volunteers will be available afterwards for any questions. 

Please note, no food or drink can be taken into the mansion and this experience doesn’t include food. If the experience whets your appetite, we’d recommend stopping by the Stables Café for a tasty refreshment. 

Pre-bookable tour slots are running at 11am, 12pm, and 2pm. Some tickets are kept aside for walk-ins. 

Further tour slots are available at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, and 2.30pm – please book for these times on arrival.

We are opening the basements while the upstairs of the mansion will be closed to dismantle Christmas and conduct winter conservation work before reopening in March.

Please note:

• Normal Admission charges apply to non-members on arrival.
• Please meet in the West Courtyard by the mansion, through the clock arch.
• The basement can be cold so please wear appropriate clothing.
• The basement is accessed via a series of stairs and steps. The floors are uneven, there are some steps, and the light levels vary, so please watch your step.
