FESTIVE IF WALLS COULD TALK TOUR EDES HOUSE CHICHESTER

Join me for this festive talk tour of EDES House in Chichester Now part of the council offices
Come in and find out what's behind the big door on West Street and what the walls might say
Join us in our wonderful foyer where the story of Edes House begins, starting with a brief overview of life in late Stuart England. Emphasising the development of Chichester, and looking at how national events impacted the city, the tour continues with a detailed look at the external architectural features of the house.
Back inside, the timeline of the owners of Edes House is woven with historical stories, poetry and anecdotes conveyed by the art, photos, furniture and decorative features of the house.
The tour brings us right up to the present day with a look at how the house and garden are at the heart of West Sussex County Council. We consider the history of the county, its coats of arms and various flags, as well as the roles of the High Sheriff and Lord Lieutenant.
The visit concludes with a look at rarely seen images, originally displayed on old panelling in the house, which were intriguingly lost to America in the late 1930s.
Our tour lasts 90 minutes and costs and all done up for Xmas
£12.95 per person and includes a welcome tea and coffee in our wonderful foyer.
