Restoration Scaffold Tours in June

The Stowe House Preservation Trust are currently restoring the State Dining Room Ceiling. The expert conservation team from Messenger BRC and Chroma Conservation have been busy cleaning the paintings and gilded framework, doing trials on the coving, reattaching flaking paint and filling in any cracks with the aim of finishing the ceiling by June 2021.

On this tour you will get the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of the restoration work, see the conservation team at work and view the beautiful detail of the ceiling up close!

Each tour will be led by one of our fabulous team, who will take a group of up to 6 people up to a scaffold platform to talk about the different aspects of the restoration and to show you the expert work being carried out.

You will be invited to a safety briefing before donning a hard hat and a hi-vis vest and tackling the four-storey scaffold tower to the building site.

Climbers must be over 16 years old
