LGBTQ+ Heritage Tour

About

As part of LGBTQ+ History Month this February, Strawberry Hill House is hosting an LGBTQ+ history tour. The tour will explore Horace Walpole’s sexuality by investigating the correspondence between his network of friends and acquaintances, and how this might inform our interpretation of his house and collection. 

As visitors are led through the House, our tour guide will reveal how Strawberry Hill House enabled Walpole to build a unique identity for himself by his radical use of architecture, design, and antiquarianism. By re-examining Walpole's famous and prolific correspondence, with his extensive network of friends and acquaintances, our Guide will bring his colourful times to life.

Please arrive 30 minutes before your Tour for a complimentary glass of Fizz.
