Mackintosh at the Willow is unique in being a working Mackintosh space, retaining its 1903 original function as a tea room, so visitors can both view the impressive interiors and enjoy an immersive experience by dining with us. The tour covers most of the main spaces within the building, highlighting the work undertaken by the restoration team, the important interiors within, and how the building relates to other Mackintosh works. Aside from booking to dine in the Salon de Luxe, a guided tour is the best way to view this room. Maximum group size is 6. Booking is essential. Tours last around 45 minutes. Our tours are currently in English.
