Forty Hall is a manor house of the 1620s in Forty Hill in Enfield, north London. The house, a Grade I listed building, is today used as a museum by the London Borough of Enfield. Within the grounds is the site of the former Tudor Elsyng Palace.
Step in to the Hall to admire the fine architecture and stunning period rooms. Enjoy learning about the history of Forty Hall Estate through the ages and about the life of original owner Sir Nicholas Rainton. The permanent exhibition offers a range of visual and audio interpretation and displays so there are ample ways for all of the family to engage with learning about the Hall in an enjoyable way.
A range of guided tours are available for special interest groups which add value to the visit and further understanding of the Hall’s history. Tours can be themed according to interests of the group so contact us for further information.
The events and exhibition programme focuses on Art, Ecology and Heritage and is inspired by Forty Hall & Estate. With four major seasonal events a year plus many tours, talks, concerts and music festivals there is plenty to do for all the family.
Forty Hall & Estate is fully accessible, enabling you to fully explore the building and enjoy your experience.

Read All ReviewsI was visiting with my disabled partner to Forty Hall and it was lovely visit. We took his wheelchair into the house and as a newbie to pushing a wheelchair, I was very pleasantly surprised that the chair could easily fit through all the lower ground floors. There is a very small step at the entrance and I did find that difficult to negotiate. A very nice lady met us at the front door and advised that there is a lift to get to the upper floor but that we would only get one wheeled item in it at a time. And the toilets were excellent too and there are baby changing facilities in both the gents and ladies. Cafe serving snacks and drinks. Lovely house well maintained, interpretative panels but little furniture. Overall great visit and accessible.
