A Guided Tour of Sezincote House & a Garden Visit
What we will see:
In the morning, we will have a guided tour of Sezincote House which is described as
‘India in the Cotswolds’
The House is far from traditional - it was built in the “Indian Style”, a unique combination
of Hindu and Muslim architecture. Sezincote is credited with influencing the design of
the Brighton pavilion after a visit by The Prince Regent in 1807.
Tea/Coffee and cakes are available in the Orangery Tea Room. If you need more than
a cake, you could bring a packed lunch.
In the afternoon you will have access to the gardens which are set in a romantic
landscape of temples, grottoes, waterfalls and canals reminiscent of the Taj Mahal.
Accessibility:
There is disabled car parking and a drop off and pick up area at the entrance to the
house and gardens near the ticket office. The upper floor of the house is not accessible
for those in wheelchairs, the house guide will provide those people with books and
photograph albums about the upper floor. The garden has some areas that will be
difficult for wheelchairs and those with walking difficulties.
When and where to meet:
The site opens at 11.00am. Please meet at 11.45, for the tour that starts at 12:00.
Please allow good time to walk to the house and meet at the front door of the house.
Once the tour starts, the doors will be closed and you will not be able to take the tour.
Car Parking There is adequate car parking on site.
