Lydiard House and Park
Lydiard House and Park
At the heart of Lydiard Park is Lydiard House – a striking Grade I listed Palladian house that for 500 years was home to the St John family. The ground floor state apartments of Lydiard House have been beautifully restored and are open to visitors all year round to view the ornate plasterwork and original family furnishings displayed alongside portraits and photographs of the St John family. You can purchase a ticket to visit the State Rooms and the Walled Garden, or just pay to visit the house.
Schools Visits
Lydiard Park is an ideal location to enjoy learning outside the classroom. Join our team of fully trained teachers for a fun and inspiring day out.
We offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor curriculum-related sessions designed to encourage pupils to explore, investigate and reflect upon the discoveries that they make. Please click on this link to download a PDF copy of our current schools leaflet (link is external).
Sessions cover History (link is external), Literacy (link is external) and Science (link is external). During December, we offer our popular Victorian Christmas (link is external) sessions.
