About the venue

Welcome to Gilbert White's House & The Oates Museum website.

Having paid admission,our guests are free to come and go as often as they please that day. View the House and Museum, go for a walk around the delightful gardens and through the Park to see the follies, take tea in the Parlour and shop in the old billiard room. Time and energy permitting, walk up the famous Gilbert White's Zigzag through the hanging beechwoods, return and tour the grounds. Or just sit and look at one of the most delightful views in the South of England. The House and Grounds can be made available as a venue for special events, meetings, conferences or small social gatherings throughout the year.
