Things to do
Self-guided tours
Upon arrival, we’ll offer you an introduction to J M Barrie and his home. We then invite you to take a self-guided tour – each room has information sheets but please feel free to ask us any questions about the property or the man.
Watch out for the hidden gems and the secret doodles on the settle!
Find out about the story behind Barrie’s christening shawl and the origins of the name Wendy.
Children’s activities
Outside, we have the original Wendy house and a small garden for children to play in – how many animals can you spot on the Peter Pan statue?
