Step back in time with the Horrible Histories® Gorgeous Georgians trail at Osterley Park and House, running until 31 August 2025. This interactive adventure brings the Georgian way of life to life with ten fun activities spread across the house, gardens, and parkland. It's the perfect activity for families and little ones with a keen interest in history.

Stroll through grand rooms and uncover tales of notorious highwaymen like Dick Turpin, fearsome pirates, and the quirks of everyday Georgian life. Dress up as an aristocrat, spin the Wheel of Woe, solve puzzles, and take part in creative challenges exploring fashion, culture, and Georgian society. Along the way, soak up the seasonal beauty of Osterley, providing a gorgeous backdrop to your historical adventure. Full of splats, hats, wigs, and plenty of historical hilarity, it's a quirky, educational day out for all ages.

The trail is free with regular admission (free for National Trust members).
