An estate in the Norfolk countryside, known for hosting major art exhibitions and a music festival, is a celebrity hotspot. 

Houghton Hall, located between Fakenham and King's Lynn, was constructed in the 1720s for Britain's first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole.

The Palladian mansion is surrounded by extensive parkland and is now the residence of the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley.

Houghton Festival, founded by DJ Craig Richards, takes place at the estate every summer and returns from August 7 to 10 2025. 

It attracts big names in the electronic music scene to the Norfolk countryside and even had a royal visitor - with the Princess of Wales spotted there in 2023. 

In the hall, Spanish luxury fashion brand Loewe hosted an event this summer to celebrate sculptor Dame Magdalene Odundo's exhibition, which ended in September. 

Guests included actors Kit Connor, Russell Tovey, Archie Madekwe and Ruth Wilson.

Houghton Hall and Gardens is now closed for the season and will reopen with a new exhibition in spring 2025.
