Avington is open to the public on Sundays and Bank Holidays between May and September.
Groups are welcome anytime by appointment.
It is also a perfect setting for functions, and is available for hire for wedding receptions, conferences, private parties and commercial events. William Cobbett once wrote of Avington that it was 'one of the prettiest places in the country' and indeed this is true today. The house is mentioned in the Domesday Book, and was enlarged in 1670 by the addition of two wings and a classical portico surmounted by three statues. The state rooms include the Ballroom, with its magnificent ceiling, and the painted Red Drawing room. St Mary's Church, one of the most perfect Georgian Churches in Hampshire, is in the grounds close by and may be visited.
