Join us this October as we open our beautiful staterooms and gardens which are rarely open to the public. This is a fantastic opportunity to discover Harlaxton, but also to be entertained with some amazing 1940’s entertainment and re-enactment groups. Immerse yourself with 1940’s live singers, classic dancers and re-enactments who bring the 1940’s to life in our magical staterooms and beautiful gardens. We’d love for you and all the family to join us for a wonderful weekend spent exploring the manor with a 1940’s twist. We have the honour of displaying a fantastic private collection “Meeting Winston Churchill’. An introduction to his life and leadership, 1874-1965. Come and see some highlights from one of this country’s biggest private collections of Churchilliana, on loan to Harlaxton. Meet Winston Churchill’s waxwork, see one of his paintings and find out about different aspects of this remarkable man and his wartime leadership through a unique display of cartoons and artefacts.
