Great Places To Visit

Holdenby House

18 December 2009 by bigdaysout Leave a Comment

A stately home whose royal connections go back over 400 years. Built by Sir Christopher Hatton to entertain Elizabeth I, it became the Palace of James I and the prison of his son, Charles I. Now a family home, the house is the splendid backdrop to a beautiful garden and Falconry Centre, where visitors can watch birds of prey soar over the scene of so much history.

Six miles from Northampton, Holdenby is a magnificent venue for corporate events and conferences, film and TV shoots and weddings. We also run an award-winning schools programme with projects on the Tudors, the Victorians and World War II.

Winner of Sandford Award 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005.
