Accommodations in Long Melford near Kentwell Hall (Long Melford, United Kingdom)
Kentwell Hall (Long Melford, United Kingdom)
Kentwell Hall is a moated Tudor stately home which is independently owned by Patrick Phillips and his family. The hall has been restored to its original splendour and has been voted one of the UK’s best tourist attractions. Visitors can tour the house and gardens as well as visit the rare-breeds farm (which specialises in local Suffolk Punch horses as well as breeding a wide range of British animal breeds). The house also hosts a wide range of ‘re-enactments’ of Tudor Life, in which local enthusiasts dress up in authentic costume to show visitors how things used to be. During the second world war the hall was used as a military hospital and this is reflected in the second world war military gatherings with vintage cars and military vehicles. Evening events are held during the summer months and include jazz bands and other concerts. In the run up to Halloween ‘ghost walks’ are available and special events are offered for the Christmas season. The hall is available to corporate guests for Tudor banquets and can also be hired for wedding receptions. Opening hours are complex and visitors are advised to check with the website for more details. In the winter months the hall is mostly closed except for pre-booked parties or during the school holidays. Sunday opening starts with the spring bulb and lambing season. From roughly Easter through to the end of September the grounds and hall are open for a larger number of events. Standard entrance prices vary with the options selected (e.g. with or without the house, with or without special re-enactment fees) but start from approx €7 per person.
