Welcome one, welcome all to our free open days and apple harvest weekend! Explore the Manor, Gallery and gardens, then head to the orchard and kitchen garden for heritage apples, games and harvest fun for all the family on 20 & 21 September.
Step into history this Heritage Open Days weekend, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September, with free entry to Wightwick Manor and Gardens. Discover the charm of a Victorian family home filled with Pre-Raphaelite art and William Morris interiors. The Manor is open 11am–5pm (last entry 4pm), offering the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in rich history and stunning design.
This year, we are celebrating the season with our Apple Harvest Weekend! Head to the orchard and kitchen garden to sample and purchase heritage apple varieties, play apple-themed games, and even pick your own fruit. Discover how we grow 12 different apple types on one tree, and learn about the Mander family’s historic orchards, once used by their cook to create seasonal dishes.
Visit the De Morgan Gallery to see 'Look Beneath the Lustre', our special exhibition exploring the intricate beauty of De Morgan’s artworks. Open 11am–4pm in partnership with the De Morgan Foundation.
Wander through 17 acres of garden glowing with early autumn colour, explore the Woodland Play area, then enjoy a homemade lunch or ice cream at Mander’s Tearoom. Don’t forget to stop by the Old Manor Shop for curds, jams and arts and crafts-inspired gifts.
No booking required. Free entry all weekend. Some orchard activities carry a small cash-only charge.
