Coughton Court was gifted to the National Trust in 1946 by the Throckmorton family, who have been living there since 1409. The Throckmortens continued to live in part of the house after 1946 and managed the gardens. This spring the current family members have taken over running of both the house and gardens. We see this as an opportune time for OSG to exhibit here as the new management are energised, keen to attract visitors and have a series of varied events lined up at the property already.

Further details about the exhibition, including stewarding requirements and commission rates can be found in the exhibition Terms and Conditions which you can assess from the Application Forms page on the website.
