Enjoy a short tour of the Mayor’s Parlour with an expert guide.

Includes entry to the Mayor’s Parlour, sitting room, dining room and courtyard, but not the bedrooms. Led by the Maison Dieu engagement team in partnership with The Landmark Trust.
Tours take 30 minutes. Meet in the Maison Dieu entrance foyer 10 minutes before your start time. This is a level-access tour.
For information about The Landmark Trust visit www.landmarktrust.org.uk
For adults and children aged 12 plus. Regrettably there is no wheelchair access to the Mayor's Parlour, due to the narrowness of historic door openings. The Mayor’s Parlour suite is run independently by The Landmark Trust as holiday accommodation. Tours are organised on changeover days and on special weekends throughout the year, but may have to be cancelled at short notice.
