Join expert historian Dr David Jackson for a deep-dive into the history of Swarthmoor Hall, before exploring the house yourself. Once you are fully immersed in the history of this Grade II* listed gem, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a recital of 17th & 18th century harpsichord music given by Cumbria-based harpsichordist Katherine May.
