About Hopetoun House and Grounds: 2024 Opening Weekend
As the winter fades away, our doors swing open to welcome both familiar faces and new friends to experience the magic of Hopetoun.
Stroll through our enchanting grounds, where nature bursts into vibrant life once more. Follow winding trails adorned with daffodils and bluebells on the Spring Garden Trail. Or embark on the Sea Walk Trail, treating yourself to breath-taking views of the Firth of Forth and its iconic bridges.
Bring your furry companions along for the journey – leashed dogs are warmly welcomed in the grounds, and they can even indulge in a tasty treat with you at the Stables Kitchen.
Thrill the little ones with a chance to visit our ‘unicorn’ friends who will be here on Saturday and Sunday (12pm – 4pm). There is also an Easter Trail through the grounds, and they can unleash their creativity with Easter crafts in our education room.
But the wonders of Hopetoun extend beyond the outdoors. Step inside Hopetoun House itself, a masterpiece of architectural splendour dating back to 1699. Marvel at its timeless interiors, virtually unchanged for over three centuries. Our knowledgeable guides stand ready to welcome you to this living piece of history.
Whether you seek tranquil serenity or enriching exploration, Hopetoun offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Join us for our opening weekend and discover the wonders awaiting amidst this historic House and Grounds.
Tickets can be purchased online or at our ticket kiosk on arrival.
