About

Welcome to 78 Derngate, the only house in England that bears the unmistakable touch of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Originally built in 1815, the Georgian townhouse was transformed in 1916‑17 into a living museum of Mackintosh’s mature Art Deco style. Today you can stroll through meticulously restored rooms that showcase sweeping ceilings, intricate walnut paneling, and original furnishings—an authentic, immersive journey into early 20th‑century modernism. Beyond the museum halls, 78 Derngate offers a boutique restaurant, a design shop, and elegant spaces available for hire, making it a versatile venue for afternoon tea, corporate events, or a casual family outing. Guided self‑guided tours, light‑refreshment tickets, and gift vouchers are available online—book in advance for the best experience. Whether you’re an architecture aficionado, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique cultural stop in Northampton, 78 Derngate is a must‑see destination that celebrates design, craftsmanship and the legacy of one of Britain’s most celebrated architects.
