Attraction Information
If you've got school-age kids or budding historians, they'll LOVE a day of exploration at Chartwell. It offers the perfect mix of history and fun! Enjoy great activities like the natural play area, tours around the historic house, fun family trails and exciting seasonal events. And there's a chance to bag some goods from the shop and cafe too!
Explore all 80 acres of Sir Winston Churchill’s family home, gardens and the rolling countryside in magical family activities. Go wild in the natural play area or spark imaginations down at the Butterfly House - your little ones will get to dress up and put on a performance for you!
Grab a woodland spotter sheet and take a stroll up to the Canadian camp and two-storey treehouse. Enjoy the rush of endorphins as you get active with dance classes on the lawn with LCA Dance Academy on Thursday mornings (free, booking required).
If you've had your fill of outdoor fun then head back into the house. Here, you'll meet Winston Churchill's soft toys in the study. Think creatively and write a story of their escape back to a natural habitat.
Enhance your Summer with a trip to Chartwell!
These intriguing behind-the-scenes insights are almost irresistible!
Get some fresh air in the beautiful gardens! You can catch a tour of the garden every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 2pm. Winston Churchill loved the hillside gardens and they include the lakes he created himself as well as Lady Churchill's famous rose garden, the traditional kitchen garden and a playhouse built for Mary Soames. You can catch a tour of the garden every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 2pm.
There is also a natural-style playground to be found here and excitingly a special place littered with sticks to build dens with! Add in the family picnic spots, and circular family trails and you've got all the makings of a lovely afternoon with as much education, or leisure, as you want from it.
