Smedmore House Open Day 2024

Smedmore House Open Day 2024

Smedmore House, one of Dorset’s finest Georgian manor houses, is once again opening their house and gardens to the public, to raise funds for the charity. The money raised from the event will help Weldmar Hospicecare to continue to provide specialist care for adults in Dorset living with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.

The fun packed day will also feature vintage cars, cream teas, and a variety of stalls and activities including traditional games. Music will be provided by the Swanage Town Band.

The event will be held on Saturday 8th June, from 2pm-5pm. Admissions to the garden will be £6 on the door, with the house tours available for an additional fee. Children under 16 can attend the event for free.

House Tours £5 – these will be conducted by the owner of Smedmore House, well-known historian Dr. Philip Mansel. He will be joined by members of his family who are also very knowledgeable about the house’s history and contents.

Dogs are welcome on leads but are not allowed inside on the House Tours.
