The Sandringham Estate

About

Sandringham House is the private country residence of the British monarch and the family’s seasonal retreat on the Norfolk coast. Built between 1870 and 1892 in the Jacobethan style, the grand red‑brick mansion sits within a 20,000‑acre estate that is home to celebrated gardens, parkland and shooting grounds. The house, its formal rooms and the surrounding gardens have been opened to the public each year from the end of March until the end of October, with the visitor centre and country park remaining open year round. Visitors can marvel at the richly decorated salon, ballroom, drawing room and dining room, explore the vast gardens laid out over 49 acres, and learn about the estate’s historic role as a royal shooting estate and sporting home. The estate now continues to host a range of events, including exhibitions, seasonal festivals and cultural programmes, making it a must‑visit destination for heritage enthusiasts and families alike.
