Hughenden Manor is set to reopen next week after a five-month closure.

There will be a one-way system in place at the National Trust manor, which was the country house of the Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli after he bought it in 1848, when it reopens its doors on Monday, September 28.

The National Trust property will reopen its doors to ground floor rooms and the Hillside exhibition for the first time in five months with several new safety measures in place.

One-way systems and limited numbers inside the building will help make sure social distancing is possible, while enhanced cleaning and hand sanitising stations will be made available.

It will be open from 10am to 5pm every day and booking in advance is recommended - especially at busier times like the weekends and bank holidays - through the online booking system.

Everyone has to wear a face covering inside.

The reopening comes ahead of the October Half Term, where there will be fun autumn and Halloween events for families to enjoy.

There will be children's trails and family walks throughout Half Term, with some of the trees dressed up for Halloween to trick unsuspecting visitors.

In the walled garden there will be apple-inspired scarecrows which have been handmade by volunteers, giving a hint as to the names of just a few of the apple varieties grown in the orchard.

Laura Burrows, general manager for Hughenden, said: “We are delighted to welcome visitors back to Hughenden.

"Recent weeks have seen visitors enjoying the garden, parkland and woodland but now we’re pleased to open the doors to the Manor to share the treasures of Hughenden and the secrets of Hillside once again.

"Although the visit will be different than normal with a one-way visitor route, we hope visitors can enjoy experiencing the historic interiors and intriguing stories once again.”
