Guided walk: the archaeology of Dyrham Park

From deer park earthworks, pillow mounds, a horse engine, water tanks and more, find out how the use of the park has developed over time and what these can tell us about life at Dyrham in years gone by. The walk will go into areas not normally open to the public. It will start at visitor reception and go through the parkland and finish down by the house and garden. The walks are free of charge but booking is essential to avoid disappointment as numbers are limited.

Exhibition: Journeys - Asafo flags from the Karun Thakar collection at Dyrham Park

‘Journeys’ draws on highlights from Thakar’s global textile collections to explore themes of migration, trade, craftsmanship, colonialism, global history and beauty. Through the universal theme of ‘journeys’, the exhibitions reveal the complex histories of objects, materials, and people – examining both tangible heritage and living traditions. Vibrant textile displays and film will reveal stories often left untold and show how these historic houses were shaped by global connections and colonial legacies. In the house at Dyrham Park will be vibrant Asafo flags. One of the most important West African art forms, they fuse European naval insignia with local traditions and symbolism, reflecting resistance and adaptation during colonial encounters. Displayed throughout Dyrham’s interiors, and placed alongside portraits and objects, they will deepen narratives of 17th-century global trade and colonial history embedded in the house.

Outdoor theatre: Othello presented by The Lord Chamberlain's Men

With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself, they present this great play as he first saw it, in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. A powerful story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. The event will be at Dyrham Park for two nights - Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July 2026. Bring a chair and a picnic. We'd advise booking early to avoid any disappointment.
