Pre-booking for the Dining Room Restaurant, even for drinks, is strongly advised particularly at busy times.

A wide range of contemporary craft, design and artwork is on sale alongside a great selection of Mackintosh-inspired gifts and items exclusive to 78 Derngate. View our Online Shop.

Conservation

Visitors to the Mackintosh house are asked to wear supplied disposable overshoes whilst inside; this is to protect the floor coverings.

Shoes with stilletto-heels must be removed. We also ask that objects and surfaces are not touched or leant against. Bulky bags can be securely stowed at reception.
