Visiting

Openings in 2025

We’re organised 15 Open Days this year.  The first one will be in February.  You’ll might also be interested in one of our ever-popular Sunday morning Guided Tours of Strawberry Hill Gardens and Pope’s Grotto, organised in conjunction with Strawberry Hill House.

For details and booking for all these events, see our page on TicketSource.

It may also be possible to arrange private visits for groups of up to 25 people. As the grotto is in Radnor House School, visits are not normally possible during the school’s opening hours.  Therefore, visits will usually be after school hours, at weekends or in school holidays. In all cases, visits cannot be guaranteed to meet your requirements as they are subject to the School’s permission and availability of volunteers.  Please note that a donation to the Trust will be requested to cover our expenses and Radnor House School’s staff overtime costs.

Enquiries about arrangements for private visits should be made by contacting us here.  

The Grotto is owned by Radnor House School. A map of the School’s location can be found here.

Volunteers

The Trust and Radnor House School are looking for volunteers to assist on public open days and other events. We will be open to the public for more than 30 days a year and a large pool of people will be needed.  If you are interested, please see our Volunteering and Jobs page. No special skills or knowledge are required.
