Throughout 2025 we will be celebrating the Hall’s 700th anniversary with a whole host of special events over a 12 month programme called Samlesbury 700.
Our exciting plans include festivals, theatrical productions, dining events and talks and lectures with something for everyone in the family.

Where do I start? Upon arriving, felt privileged to have discovered such a beautiful historic site, basking in the sunshine in all its glory. I had booked a last minute getaway for two nights in the Shepherd’s Huts, as a little adventure with family and friends. As a completely new experience, was unsure what to expect, and can honestly say that any expectations where exceeded! Huts were fab-u-lous! I want one.
Some of our highlights for Samlesbury 700 include:
An Evening with M. R. James – a dinner theatre experience.
7 Centuries of Samlesbury Hall – an illustrated talk.
Fun Dog Show – our popular doggy event is back.
An Audience with Henry VIII – a theatrical show.
Food & Drink Festival – a 2-day gourmet extravaganza.
The Great Victorian Ghost Hunt – our unique event returns.
Torchlight Tours – more opportunities to visit the Hall by torchlight.
Living History Weekend – a whole weekend of history in 4 dimensions.
Christmas Fair – a weekend of all things ‘Christmas’.
A Ghost Story for Christmas 5 – our popular seasonal spine tingle is back.
