Clevedon Court is a 14th-century manor house with 18th-century terraced gardens near Clevedon, North Somerset. Begun by the de Clyvedon family and purchased by Abraham Elton in 1709, it was passed to the National Trust in 1961.

This tour is a fund-raising benefit for OutStories Bristol, kindly offered by Julia Elton who will host the event ending with tea and coffee in the Great Hall. She has generously allowed full access to areas not normally open to National Trust visitors, and will welcome us with a few words about the house and its history. As well as family portraits etc, there is a fine collection of prints and ephemera reflecting the industrial history interests of Julia’s late father Sir Arthur Elton.

This tour is a rare opportunity to see the private quarters and learn about its architecture, contents and history. It is not specifically LGBTQ+ related. Maximum 40 people. Tickets are £15/person (+£1.96 booking fees) and includes refreshments.
