Programme: 

From The Great British Bake Off to Downton Abbey and the latest Jane Austen adaptation, a certain image of the British country house dominates popular culture. This talk suggests that if country houses are to continue to thrive into the 2020s they need to rethink their audience and make brave and bold decisions to ensure they are relevant to as a wide a range of visitors as possible.

Sharing best practice examples from across the UK this talk argues that engaging audiences with the physicality of country house architecture is the first step
