Become a Patron and support Strawberry Hill House & Garden

Strawberry Hill House & Garden, created by Horace Walpole in the 18th century, has been open to visitors for over 250 years. This extraordinary building is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture and home to an important collection of paintings and objects.

Patrons play a crucial role in bringing the rich experience of Horace Walpole’s Grade I ‘little Gothic castle’ and Garden to life, sharing its wonderful history and stories, and in preserving it for future generations.

As an independent charity relying on self-generated income, our Patrons are vital as they support the ongoing care and maintenance of the House & Garden, help with our collection and conservation work, as well as our education programmes.

As a Patron you will be joining a community of key supporters, safeguarding and caring for this remarkable Gothic gem while enjoying a range of exclusive benefits including behind the scenes tours and talks with our curators and invitations to special events throughout the year.
