Join us as we mark the 170th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade with a special tour about the Crimean War and the 7th Earl of Cardigan.
Enjoy a ground floor tour of this lived-in family home as we explore the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade, military medicine, and how the Crimean War became the first media war.
We'll also delve into the life of the 7th Earl and his family, and look back at photographs of the Balaklava Centenary dinner held at Deene in 1954.
The tour ends with a visit to St. Peters Church where visitors will have exclusive access to the Brudenell family tomb and final resting place of the 7th Earl and his wife Adeline.
Tickets include a Deene Tea (sandwiches and cake served with tea and coffee) served in the Tea Room before the tour and access to the gardens.
