Over the next few months, while we are not able to welcome you through our doors, we wanted to introduce a new series of imagery entitled; ‘Behind closed doors at Haddon’, in which we plan to share previously unseen imagery and areas of the hall and delve into the history behind them.
We start this series with a wonderful shot in the courtyard. Taken by renowned photographer Simon Upton, it shows the door/entrance which opens into the lower courtyard.

“The purpose of a visit to an historic site or museum and gallery is to provide an experience that the learner won’t forget and the facilitator will help them understand the magic of the place in which they find themselves. If the session can be taught in the same way in the classroom then it’s not what the Sandford Award wants.” - Sandford Award Judge.
