Polesden Lacey

Polesden Lacey is set in the glorious Surrey Hills, 25 miles from London. An ideal place for spending time with family and friends, its 1,600-acre estate is home to rare birds and butterflies and the gardens display year-round interest. The Edwardian house once belonged to socialite Maragaret Greville and overflows with fine paintings, ceramics and furniture.
On 13 and 14 September as part of this year’s Heritage Open Days, Polesden Lacey is throwing open its doors for free, with music playing in the afternoons and fun activities for all ages. 10am until 5pm.
Highlights:
- Live music performances on both days on the South Lawn. Grab your deckchair and picnic and relax to the soulful sounds of jazz. 2-4pm.
- Ride the Woolsey Miniature Railway! Running both days from 10.30am to 4pm. Train rides are £2 per person with profits going back to Polesden Lacey.
