Kenwood House hosts an old fashioned Victorian Fayre this summer, taking us back to the times when pig-sticking stood for family entertainment. The Grand Victorian Fayre is a great theme for a family day out, and from Kenwood House it's always worth leaving time to explore the green expanse of Hampstead Heath. At the Fayre, 19th century inspired events include ladies riding side-saddle, gentlemen playing polo, and the famous 'teapot dash'. You can also take part in the traditional Victorian games, meet the redcoat soldiers or try your hand at Victorian dance - a time when music halls, Tea Dances and morris dancing flourished.About Kenwood House
A rich collection of famous paintings are housed within the walls of this neo-Classical villa perched by a lake on top of Hampstead Heath. Works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Turner, Reynolds and Gainsborough form the famous Iveagh Bequest, handed down to the state by the owner of Kenwood House, brewing magnate Edward Cecil Guinness.
