Visiting the Hall

The house and beautiful walled 17th-century garden are open to the public on selected days for guided tours throughout the summer.

Visitors can see the magnificent main hall, the tapestry room, and a bedroom complete with a tester bed. The nursery has a collection of toys from 1860 to the present. Throughout the building are historic costumes and artifacts that have been in the Wright family’s possession over the centuries.

Next door to Eyam Hall is the Craft Centre with five working craft shops, a gift shop and the Buttery for delicious cakes and sandwiches. Visitors can enjoy outdoor seating on a dry day. The Craft Centre is Eyam Hall’s former farmyard.

Across the road from the Hall are a set of wooden stocks.

Eyam is well-known as the Plague Village of the Black Death of 1665 when the villagers isolated themselves from the wider community to avoid further contagion of the deadly disease.

Eyam is a short drive from the Pavilion Gardens and The Crescent in Buxton on the A623. From Derby, the village is about an hour by car on the A38.
