GROUP VISITS

Dalemain is an authentic and quirky visitor experience, and we are able to be highly flexible with our group offer.

On arrival, your group will be formally welcomed and details of the day will be explained including practical information such as where facilities are.

Each guided tour can accommodate a maximum of 15 people so larger groups would need to split into smaller groups where each is staggered.

If there is a subject that your party is particularly interested in, if you let us know in advance, the guide can highlight specific relevant aspects during the tour.

You should be clear on the timing of the visit so that we can meet any deadline you have.

Groups can book an area within the Great Barn Tearoom which is licenced and serves delicious, home-made food and refreshments on a counter system basis between. You can pre-book meals if your party would like to eat together.

You can also book a private space in the Old Hall, a medieval hall which has a open log fire, and can be specially catered for.

We can accommodate a maximum of 45 people at one time.

You can make your visit bespoke with tours outside the normal visit. This is for visitors wanting to go behind the scenes for something a bit special. With Marmalade talks, visits to Dacre church and our special ‘Secret Dalemain’ tour, there’s something for everyone.

This can be combined with booking of the Old Hall for private catering.

We are also happy to discuss welcoming parties outside of the standard opening hours.

If a member of your group is in a wheelchair, we can meet them in the car park with a car in order to drive them into the courtyard where the entrance to tearoom and house are more easily accessible. The ground floor of the house is accessible although the second floor is accessed by a short stone spiral staircase or a straight wooden staircase and is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users.

There is no charge for visitors who cannot access all facilities where they are accompanied. Toilets for the disabled are located in the courtyard.

A wheelchair for use in the house and an electric scooter for use in the garden are available on a first come first served basis. Ensure we are aware of this so that it can be booked.

We offer a flexible package which will suit the needs of the group. Either specialist tours or more general visits.

We have a long experience of hosting groups at Dalemain and have developed a well organised service.

Before your visit, you can easily contact us and arrange for free familiarisation visit. The tour guide will have free entry and we can provide them and the driver with a lunch subject to the minimum booking.

Ample free coach parking is available in our main car park with a turning circle.
