We have four rooms available for hire and two are licensed to hold civil weddings seven days a week. If exclusivity is what you desire, the whole house is available at a negotiable rate. Erasmus Darwin House is a magnificent Grade I listed Georgian Town House, which sits idyllically on the edge of Lichfield Cathedral Close, a beautiful area which is rich in history. As well as being a fantastic museum, Erasmus Darwin House also boasts a beautiful and secluded herb garden. Once the home of Erasmus Darwin and his large family, the House has retained its friendly charm making it a perfect venue for intimate family occasions. After undergoing extensive restoration, the House opened to the public in 1999 as an independent museum, education centre and research facility. With over 250 years of history this is a truly beautiful and unique property for your booking. The whole of Erasmus Darwin House is accessible to wheelchair users. Please let us know if you are expecting wheelchair users in order to have staff on hand to assist if necessary.
