Celebrating 25 Years of Restoration: Photography Competition Exhibition

To celebrate 25 years of restoration at Stowe House, we invited photographers of all ages and experiences to take part in our 2024 Photography Competition. Entrants were challenged to capture the beauty and detail of the House across six categories: Exteriors, Interiors, Up-Close, Seasons, Under 18s and Front Cover.

This special exhibition showcases the winning photographs, runners-up and notable mentions, offering a fresh perspective on Stowe’s history, architecture and surroundings. The exhibition also highlights the talent of our local community.

Visitors can also purchase the 2026 Stowe House Calendar in the Visitor Centre for £10. The calendar features all of the winning entries and helps support our ongoing conservation work. As an independent charity, every purchase makes a real difference to preserving Stowe House for future generations.

The exhibition will be on display in the museum from 19 October 2025 to February 2026 and is free with admission.

Practical information:

• Pre-book up to one month ahead to save time and secure parking directly at the House (no garden walk required).
• Opening days vary during the winter months, so please check our opening times calendar before travelling.
• Last admission is at 3.00pm and the House closes at 3.30pm.

We warmly thank everyone who took part in the competition and look forward to welcoming you to enjoy this celebratory exhibition.
