LGBTQ+ Heritage Tour
Friday 19th June. 6:30pm arrival for a complimentary glass of fizz, tour begins 7pm
To celebrate Pride month, Strawberry Hill is hosting an out-of-hours LGBTQ+ tour. The tour will seek to explore more about Horace Walpole's sexuality by investigating the correspondence between his network of friends and acquaintances, and how this might inform our interpretation of his house and collection.
As visitors are led through the gothic castle, our tour guide will reveal how Strawberry Hill enabled Walpole to build a unique identity for himself by his radical use of architecture, design, and antiquarianism. Learn also, how Walpole's famous and prolific correspondence, with his extensive network of friends and acquaintances, bring his colourful times to life. Discover more on our LGBTQ+ house tour.
Ticket price: £25
