House Tour
Get a special insight into the house and galleries, with a guided tour. Only available to groups under 15 people due to size of the rooms. All Tours are by prior arrangement only.
Catering
Our café specialises in locally sourced food made on site. Your group can visit the café without a prior booking, however, please note that at times the café can become busy, and it may not be possible to seat all members simultaneously and service may be slow.
Parking
The village car park is a 2 minute walk from the House. It is situated just off the main road behind the Selborne Arms. The car park can take cars and coaches; when it’s busy visitors can be dropped outside the House and coaches parked in lay-by’s approximately a mile distant either North or South of the village.
Selborne Village
The pretty historic village of Selborne is located within the South Downs National Park. There are superb walks, including Gilbert White’s ZigZag path on to the Selborne Hanger. There is a pottery, a selection of village shops, a café on the high street and The Selborne Arms Pub. The village church, where Gilbert White is buried, has two stained glass windows commemorating him, is directly opposite the Museum, and well worth a visit.
