Journey Through the Stars

Inspired by the conservation of a spectacular Star Atlas by Andreas Cellarius from the Long Gallery library, this winter we invite you to Journey Through the Stars on a visit to the House.

Inspired by the conservation of a spectacular Star Atlas from the stunning Long Gallery, this winter Blickling presents you with the stars! Explore star-filled rooms, wonder at the skies above as you explore the story of this special book.

With light installations, family fun and games and a chance to help decorate the hall, this is an opportunity to see the rare 17th-century Harmonia Macrocosmica, which describes the movement of the stars, charts the constellations of the northern hemisphere, and explores the known planetary models of the time .

The route through the house will take in the ground floor, basement kitchen and some of the first floor showrooms.

Enjoy a spot of Christmas shopping in the shop or pop into the second-hand bookshop in the Farmyard to browse a selection of specialist books. Tuck into delicious seasonal food and warming drinks in the Stables and Muddy Boots cafés.

There's no need to book tickets for your visit during these times. Entry is free to National Trust members, and standard admission apples to non-members, who can pay on arrival. Children under five go free.
