The Friends of Burton Constable

The Friends of Burton Constable is a Registered Charity which was formed to support the work of the Burton Constable Foundation.

Every penny of your Friends membership helps to support the preservation of Burton Constable Hall for the long-term benefit of the public.  Funds generated from the Friends scheme are invested in the conservation of the House and Grounds, helping sustain and preserve them for future generations.

Friends have some special advantages too, including:- Regular notification of events taking place at Burton Constable, invitations to exhibition previews and private viewings, invitations to talks by the Curator and other specialists carrying out research into the collections.

You will be invited to Friends only events such as the popular Quiz Night and our annual Christmas event and so much more. 

For a Friends Membership fee of just £10 you will be playing a vital role in supporting the conservation and upkeep of one of East Yorkshire's finest historic houses.
