Shaw House Open Days

Join us for the Shaw House Open Days where you will have the opportunity to access many areas of the House which are not normally open to the public, including the ‘Forbidden Corridor’ on the second floor and the basement tunnel running along the length of the House and the Elizabethan bake house.
The bake house was discovered during restoration and is one of the very special features of Shaw House. Public access is not usually possible due to its location below the café but during the open days you will have the chance to climb below the ground floor and discover the well preserved elements of the 16th century kitchen. Please note that the café service will run as usual on these days and alternative areas for seating will be provided.
Bake house viewings: 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm (30 minute duration), free but booking essential.
You can also visit the exhibition rooms and our historic costume exhibition ‘Dressed for Shaw’ and the English Civil War arms and armoury exhibition ‘Dressed for Battle’. There is no need to book to explore the rest of the House and exhibitions.
Sunday 26 & Monday 27 May | Shaw House | 11am – 4pm | Free
