Coughton Court, tied to the Gunpowder Plot, closes for winter, reopens in Feb 2026 under Throckmorton family control, ending National Trust management.
Coughton Court, a historic estate linked to the Gunpowder Plot, will close for the winter and reopen in February 2026 under new management by the Throckmorton family, who will take over direct control after a 600-year history at the site.
The family, who have lived there for centuries, will assume responsibility for operations, admission fees, and opening times, ending the property’s status as a National Trust attraction.
While the National Trust will retain ownership and support preservation efforts, the Throckmortons plan to introduce a local food café, children’s play area, and seasonal events like egg hunts and pumpkin races.
