Normally off-limits to visitors outside daylight hours, Brodsworth
Hall, near Doncaster, will be opening its doors to two evenings of
after-hours visits as part of the Museums at Night initiative on Friday
18 and Saturday 19 May.
“As part of the national Museums at Night
initiative, we’re going to open the Hall’s doors for just two evenings,
allowing visitors to see the splendid chandeliers at their best during
this twilight event, as well as exploring other parts of the house by
flickering candlelight – it should be a wonderfully atmospheric event,”
explains event manager, Jon Hogan.
The house will open from 6.30pm
to 9.30pm each evening, providing visitors with an idea of what parts
of the house would have been like before the modern electric lighting
was installed. Brodsworth Hall was originally illuminated by oil lamps,
although to avoid fire hazards during the event, these will be replaced
by LED candles throughout the property.
Admission to the event is
£7.00 for adults, £5.50 for concessions or £4.00 for children; English
Heritage members get in free. Brodsworth Hall’s tearoom shop will be
open during the event, serving a range of hot drinks and snacks, and the
shop will also open with a fantastic range of nostalgic toys, books and
jewellery, as well as English Heritage’s range of traditional jams,
chutneys, wines and liqueurs.
