Friends Of Valentines Mansion

Valentines Mansion reopened, after the usual winter closure, on Sunday 10th February 2019.

The house is now open (free entry) on Tuesdays and Sundays 11.00 until 4pm (last entry 3.30 pm).

There are many additional dates when the house is open for a variety of events, especially during school holidays. Visit http://www.valentinesmansion.com for details

The beautiful walled garden with its Gardener’s Cottage Cafe is open all year round.

What we do

The Friends was set up in 2000 to raise awareness of the Mansion and its potential to the local community, and to raise funds for restoration projects. We continue supporting and enjoying this lovely place in various ways, holding fund-raising events, giving talks, and helping in the house as Volunteers.

Some of the money raised has been spent on acquiring beautiful items for the Mansion – the Victorian dining table in the Holcombe Room, and the table, chairs and mirror in the Regency Parlour. Our current project is to furnish the Raymond Room to reflect the period when Sir Charles Raymond owned Valentines, in the second half of the 18th century.
