Celebrate William Morris’s Discovery of Kelmscott Manor

Come and celebrate the day William Morris first discovered Kelmscott Manor by discovering it yourself!

Morris first saw Kelmscott Manor in May 1871, taking on a joint lease on the place with Dante Gabriel Rossetti shortly after.

We have lots of family activities planned to help you explore this inspirational place. 

  • Put your pin in our map and compare your journey to the one William Morris took.
  • Join our volunteers and make your very own nature journal then why not go and explore the Manor for yourself and fill your journal with the things you discover. Drop in from 12-4pm in the learning barn.
  • Mini Morris is on the loose on in the house again- see if you can find them all.
  • Follow our ‘Where’s William’ trail in the grounds.
  • Be inspired by our collection and decorate your own ‘Mini Manor’.

Entrance to the grounds and all activities are free. All ages and abilities welcome.

A ticket is required if you wish to go into the house.
