Join us for public Open Days at Calverley Old Hall in September 2026 as part of Heritage Open Days.
Visit the finished, fully furnished Landmark and see the hireable Community Space. Explore the craftsmanship, creativity and care which has contributed to this major restoration project completed in 2024.
Alongside the new Landmark you will also be able to visit the Community Space which is available throughout the year for all to hire and use.
About Calverley Old Hall
An intriguing building, which has been added to, subtracted from, rearranged and developed across 700 years, Calverley Old Hall has now been brought right up to date with an exciting reimagining of the building for the 21st century. A newly discovered Tudor painted chamber hides alongside new rooms that occupy ancient spaces in spectacular harmony.
The new Landmark includes the stunning Great Hall with its late-15th century hammerbeam roof, overlooked by a gallery that leads to a first floor sitting room. There is no doubt that you find yourself in the 21st century: the building is heated by renewable energy and designed for accessibility, with clean modern design. Yet you are clasped by the changing archaeology of a thousand years, in a Landmark to contemplate the future as well as the past.
Making a donation to Landmark as part of your visit
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to visit a Landmark for free as part of our Open Day programme, and as such we’re pleased to continue to offer free entry at all our Open Days in 2025.
The Landmark Trust is a building conservation charity that relies on donations to support its work. Over the past 60 years, public support has helped us rescue over 200 historic buildings and make them available for all to experience and enjoy. Your support by attending our events, booking a workshop, and making a donation allows us to continue to save buildings at risk and continue to maintain those already in our care. Your donation could help train the craftspeople needed to restore a future Landmark, offer opportunities for young people to experience history first-hand, or provide a charity with free Landmark stay for their service users through our 50 for Free scheme.
Donations can be made when you book your Eventbrite ticket, at the event via contactless donation points, or after your visit via our website under Support.

Open Day entry
Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit. Whilst booking is not essential, priority will be given to those who have booked in advance. Thank you for your co-operation.
Accessibility
Calverley Old Hall has been designed to be as accessible as possible, however it is still a historic building with restrictions. There is level access to the main front door, the pathway from the road is a combination of gravel and paving slabs.
In the Community Space there is level access throughout, with a small 2cm metal ridge across the threshold of the external doorway.
Please consult our Access Guide for further information about access in the Community Space.
We do all we can to enable access wherever possible; please let us know of any access requirements at the time of booking. If you have any access concerns that you’d like to discuss before booking, please contact us via email here.
Thanks to National Lottery Players, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, who have made this restoration and this event possible.
