Ushaw’s story traces back centuries to Tudor England and a time when religion split Europe in two. It’s a tale beyond belief. Our historic house, gardens and grounds were first created as a sacred space. Ushaw was kept secret, hidden from the world, as a place of spiritual growth and learning for people of faith. Today, Ushaw is reinvented and open to all. Our arts, heritage and events venue is a place where wonder, curiosity and amazement collide, to be enjoyed and experienced.
