Hospitalfield House Tour

Join us for a tour of Hospitalfield.

Hospitalfield House is a very special 19th century Arts & Crafts house, built on the site of a medieval hostel or hospital established by the Benedictine order of monks who founded Arbroath Abbey. Our tours give an insight in to this history with a focus on the insightful 19th century vision of the artist Patrick Allan Fraser and his wife Elizabeth. At Hospitalfield the Allan Fraser’s weren’t so much creating their home but a place of learning for artists of the future. The tours touch on their legacy into the 20^th and 21^st centuries; the Art School which opened in 1902 and our continuing contemporary art programmes.

Our knowledgeable volunteer guides provide tours of the house at 11am -12.15pm on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, April to October.

Saturday is the day when you can make a day of it and buy a combined ticket, taking in the House and Memorial Chapel, we recommend that you book for lunch.

Children under 12 and carers supporting the person they care for go free.

Meet our tour guide in the walled garden in front of the Fernery.
