A Servant’s Life: Special Downton Abbey Tour
DOWNTON ABBEY THEMED SERVANT’S LIFE TOUR
Explore the secret lives of downstairs staff – and see if you have what it takes to join them!
Step back into history and experience what it was like to be in service at a grand estate when Meadow Brook’s head housekeeper interviews you to be part of the staff.
A Servant’s Life is a unique tour where visitors will have a chance to see life as it was lived in the “downstairs” of Meadow Brook Hall (Michigan’s own Downton Abbey). Guests will see rarely shown areas of the historic mansion – from a recently renovated telephone closet to the linen closet and China Vault filled with Prohibition-era liquor.
You’ll encounter staff at work – ironing, arranging flowers, dusting, mending a dress and be surprised by how the servants lived and worked at Meadow Brook in this behind-the-scenes immersion tour.
Complete your afternoon with scones, jam, tea and milk in the Servants’ Dining Room.
This immersive Downton Abbey-themed experience features a full cast of participants and surprises along the way. It’s the perfect way to bring old world charm to your life!
Because of the historic nature of the mansion, most areas of the Servant’s Life Tour are not accessible to wheelchairs.
