please feel free to give me a call.
If you have a problem on the morning of the visit, please telephone Kathleen, or alternatively,
a friend who is also on the visit.

free entrance to all properties. Non members will need to pay for themselves, although a group rate
will be negotiated.

Butler's coach leaves Kirkby from the Precinct Road bus stop near the Co-op car park, to arrive
at Belton House, (used by the BBC for filming 'Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth), by the official
opening time of 11:00. Although main rooms of the house do not open until 12:30, 'step-below'
basements are open from 11:00 to 12:30, with conservation talks at 11:30 on most days. Visit the
lovely gardens and lake with its newly-restored boathouse, enjoy a picnic, or lunch in the restaurant
before leaving, around 14:45 for Woolsthorpe Manor, a small manor house which was the birthplace of
