Coach Visit

Bateman’s is a Jacobean house set in the beautiful Sussex Weald, former home of Nobel prize winning author Rudyard Kipling and his wife.

Enjoy a self-guided tour of the main house where volunteer guides in each room will share their knowledge of Kipling’s family tree and his connections to pre-Raphaelite artists and prime ministers. Take a break in your own time at the Mulberry tea-room or find a picnic spot in the 300 acre estate. Enjoy the country gardens and 18th century mill, much loved by Kipling and featuring in his stories there. Finish with a quick look around the gift shop and second-hand book store.

Coach departs Ward Street at 10am, leaves Bateman’s at 3pm
