About the real place
Knebworth House is a highly distinctive Hertfordshire country house whose romantic Gothic exterior was largely shaped by nineteenth-century remodelling. The house stands within a large park and gardens, creating the scale needed for grand fictional estates and institutional settings.
It is also a major visitor and events venue, known well beyond film work for concerts, exhibitions and family attractions. Opening dates and the parts of the property accessible to visitors vary, especially around large events. The estate's official calendar should therefore be the starting point for any trip.
