At Home with the Calverley's: Calverley Old Hall Open Days
Calverley Old Hall, 18 Woodhall Road, Calverley, Pudsey, West Yorkshire, LS28 5NL
An intriguing building, which has been added to, subtracted from, rearranged and developed across 700 years, Calverley Old Hall has now been brought right up to date with an exciting reimagining of the building for the 21st century. A newly discovered Tudor painted chamber hides alongside new rooms that occupy ancient spaces in spectacular harmony.
The new Landmark includes the stunning Great Hall with its late-15th century hammerbeam roof, overlooked by a gallery that leads to a first floor sitting room. There is no doubt that you find yourself in the 21st century: the building is heated by renewable energy and designed for accessibility, with clean modern design. Yet you are clasped by the changing archaeology of a thousand years, in a Landmark to contemplate the future as well as the past.
Free activities and demonstrations will be taking place outside the building and in the Community Space, including historical reenactors, Frei Compagnie on Sunday 14 September.

Calverley Old Hall has a lift providing access to the first floor, and level access on the ground floor. The main path is gravel, so wheelchair users may wish to enter at the rear of the property.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit. Whilst booking is not essential, priority will be given to those who have booked in advance. There is no parking on site but it is possible to drive up to and drop off those with limited mobility.
