A MAGICAL WORLD IN MINIATURE AT THE BEYOND THE DOLLS’ HOUSE EXHIBITION

 

Discover a magical world in miniature at the famous Beyond the Dolls’ House exhibition!

This extensive collection depicts the Edwardian estate and neighbouring villages at 1:12 scale, with landscapes and characters acting out day-to-day activities. Exquisite in detail and accuracy, a six-foot-tall person is recreated as six inches in height.

Built in 1998 by Helen Holland, this stunning collection is a treasure, containing over 200 characters, an Edwardian estate and neighbouring villages at 1:12 scale.

The “Beyond the Dolls’ House” exhibition is a place of endless discoveries. It is a unique exhibition with every piece designed, developed and assembled by hand. 

Helen began her work with a small greenhouse and potting shed inspiring then own Robin Loder who commissioned the entire exhibition.

Helen went on to create a market town complete with an emporium, greengrocer, butcher shop, post office, laundry, wheelwright, carpenter and cabinet maker, church, pub, and school.

The model estate took shape in the form of a mansion, entrance lodge, farm buildings, granary, farm garden, topiary garden, kitchen garden, gardener’s cottage, walled garden, stable yard, keeper’s cottage, and stable yard.

Visitors of all ages are fascinated both with the wealth of detail in the displays and the outstanding level of craftsmanship involved in their creation.

Don’t miss out on viewing the Dolls’ House Museum over the winter months where it receives a makeover worthy of Santa himself! 

You can find this famous exhibition located in the main courtyard and it is included in garden entry.
