Vaucluse House is doing candlelit evening tours

Vaucluse House is opening after dark on 4 June for a candlelit tour through the drawing room and private quarters — wine and nibbles in the servants' kitchen at the end. It's the kind of thing that sounds a bit fancy but is genuinely a great way to see a place you've probably walked past a hundred times. Worth booking ahead.
