Take a look at this new gallery located inside 400-year-old stately home near Banbury

The 17th-century Aynhoe Park home was acquired by American home-furnishings company RH in 2020, who recently announced the opening of the building to the public this summer.

Sitting on an elevated plateau at the southern edge of Aynho village, the house is surrounded by 73 acres of parkland overlooking the Cherwell Valley and is renowned for its white deer population.

Much of the 60-room house was designed by celebrated British architect Sir John Soane but now integrates RH Interiors contemporary, modern, and outdoor collections with classic and rare art, antiques, and artefacts from around the world.

Now opened as RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park (the business spells it without the ‘e’), the house boasts a design library, featuring a collection of vintage, contemporary, and rare books from some of the most influential designers of the last 2,000 years.

Also inside the house, visitors can take in the exhibition, showcasing rare art, antiques, artistic installations, and artefacts, as well as luxury home furnishings collections.

Visitors to Aynhoe Park can also enjoy food from a selection of restaurants, including the Loggia, an outdoor venue featuring wood-fired pizzas, and the Sunset Terrace and Fire Pit, an open-air lounge space designed as a destination to take in countryside views.

The experience is open from 11 am to 8pm from Monday through Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on Sundays.
