Treasurer's House

Available to York residents only - see details of York Residents' Festival

Treasurer's House hasn't opened for the season when the Visit York Residents' Festival takes place in January, so it's opening its doors to residents for free on Sunday 26 and Monday 27 April, 11am - 4pm.

Join a small group guided tour to unpick part of the history of the house, it's collection and people who have lived there. Pick the tour that appeals most or try them both...

Sunday - Turning back time - this tour looks backs in history to uncover several past owners and their impact on the society they lived in. Home to astronomers and politicians, generals and gentry, there are a surprising number of fascinating stories to unpick.

Monday - By appointment - this tour spotlights Frank Green, the man who created the house and collection we see today, before gifting it in its entirety to the National Trust. He designed Treasurer’s House to showcase his collection of furniture, clocks and art, creating his vision of an ancestral family home in the heart of this historic city.

Find out more about Treasurer's House and pre-book via the website as spaces are limited (tickets will be on sale early April).
