A Victwardian Escapade - FAQS - Your very own Downton Abbey for a day

Can We Stay Over?

Yes – Please visit the Accommodation Page for a full description of the available accommodation.

How long does the experience last?

The Countess activities – with tea and cake- lasts 3 hours, whilst the dinner option, lasts 3.5 hours.

Is it suitable for all ages

Yes – this is a wonderful event for multi-generational groups. We have had toddlers to ninety year olds and everyone had a ball.

Is alcohol served?

You are very welcome to bring your own wine / drinks. We will be delighted to serve them. We do not charge corkage fees.

Do we bring our own costumes?

Just one item – we ask that every lady to wear a black long-sleeved top and that all gentlemen wear a plain long sleeved shirt (for servant duty) – we have everything else.

We have lots of costumes for ladies and gentlemen, but if you prefer to bring your own, you are very welcome to.

This could just be the perfect outing for your heirloom outfit.

How do we book?

Call 046 9434135 or email info@rockfieldhouse.com to make a booking.

Where did you get the idea?

We all loved Downton Abbey and this experience gives everyone a chance to be Anna and Lady Mary, Bates and Lord Grantham.
And of course for those of us who appreciate the world of Jane Austen created, this is a chance to be Elizabeth Bennett.

What do we need to bring?

Everyone must wear a black long-sleeved top … very useful for servant duties. Please note that we cannot allow any decorations to be affixed to the walls or timberwork of the main house. Free-standing decorations are fine.
