Snowshill Manor and Garden

Snowshill Manor is a Cotswold manor house packed with extraordinary treasures collected over a life time by Charles Wade

Inside these rooms you can discover this eclectic collection that he restored and displayed. We have maintained the atmospheric settings he created with low lighting and few labels. From tiny toys to Samurai armour, musical instruments to fine clocks, thousands of objects are laid out for you to see just as Mr Wade intended.

The garden is the perfect place to unwind and explore hidden vistas, quiet corners and unexpected delights including Charles Wade’s uncomplicated home, the Priest’s House.

“Let nothing perish” was his motto, and his life was dedicated to doing just that. From the everyday to the extraordinary, you can discover his passion for craftsmanship, colour and design.

The Manor is to this day presented as Wade arranged it, a treasure trove of curiosities. There are no labels or spotlights - but don’t worry, our friendly room guides have heads filled with knowledge, and will happily tell you more, point out their favourite items and be on hand if you need any help.

Tea Room 
Whether you fancy a frothy coffee, a hot lunch or afternoon tea, our tea-room is a lovely spot to stop. It’s cosy inside and the patio outside is a suntrap on sunny days.  

We use lots of produce grown in our Kitchen Garden in the tea-room. From crisp fresh salads to apple crumble, you can often enjoy a taste of Snowshill. Each week the gardeners bring a selection of seasonal fruit and veg to our catering team, so look out for information of what we've grown and used.
