Gawthorpe Barn: behind the scenes
Join us for a unique opportunity to witness first-hand our roof restoration project here at the Great Barn, Gawthorpe Hall.
We would like to invite you to get up close to see our roof restoration project live in action and witness first-hand the essential repair works being undertaken on this fascinating tour of the Grade I listed Great Barn here at Gawthorpe Hall.
The event is three hours, the first of which will be a presentation on the history of the Great Barn, wider estate and our future vision. The second hour will include a tour of the Great Barn, with spokespeople from Historic Property Restoration Ltd (HPR) who are carrying out the works. HPR specialise in the conservation and restoration of Britain's historic buildings and landmarks. The last hour will include a walk and talk from National Trust Ranger David Bevis who will show you around the wider estate, including the ‘hidden’ Walled Garden and highlight our upcoming woodland management plans.
We look forward to welcoming you and to sharing the progress of our restoration efforts to preserve and enhance this historic site for current and future generations.
Please note:
- Please meet at the cobbled courtyard outside the Great Barn, before refreshments that will be served in the National Trust Estate Office.
- Please wear sturdy footwear and weather appropriate clothing.
- The first two hours are ground level, but not wheelchair accessible. The walk and talk includes footpaths where ground is uneven.
- Not suitable for children under the age of 12.
