We are now entering the new, exciting phase of the ‘Raise The Roof’ works at Newstead Abbey. The house is being prepared for the works by our Curators in readiness for the planned repairs.

The new ‘Heart of Medieval Newstead’ exhibition in the Cloisters is open every day 11am – 4pm (last entry 3pm) and a walk through of the main House will be available at 12PM & 2PM at weekends & school holidays. The ‘Heart of Medieval Newstead’ exhibition and House Walk Throughs are included in Standard Admission.
