Historic houses and gardens open by appointment
specially for you
Invitation to View has a cult following in Suffolk after eight years and, in 2007, it spreads into Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
- “This scheme provides a fascinating insight into otherwise inaccessible historically interesting houses. We have used it also to entertain visitors and have geared their visits around the scheme.”
- “Obviously it is up to the individual owners how they conduct the visit. All try very hard and some are outstandingly welcoming and informative. The variation is part of the enjoyment of the visit.”
- “Encourage more owners to open up their houses.”
- “Excellent scheme. I intend working through the entire list.”
- “Have always found owners very welcoming. Have never come away a disgruntled visitor.”
- “Please thank everyone concerned for the pleasure we have in visiting the homes of such friendly hosts.”
- “The Invitation to View scheme this year has been superb. The organisation has been first class - and great homes.”
- “Hope you repeat next year and that we are on your distribution list. Very many thanks.”
- “Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. Our heads have been buzzing ever since.”
- “How fortunate we are to have people who so kindly open their private homes for us to enjoy.”
- “We were particularly pleased how everyone was made to feel welcome and the generous selection of sandwiches and home-made cakes was among the very best.”
- “We found our reception, the lunch and the tour first rate. We shall certainly be back for more.”
