Then, the immersive afternoon will conclude with a guided Servant’s Life Tour, which takes you through the hidden staff areas of Meadow Brook Hall. Guests are welcome to wear Downton Abbey-inspired attire.

ABOUT DOWNTON ABBEY: The television series “Downton Abbey” followed the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who worked for them at the turn of the 20th Century in an Edwardian English castle (Downton Abbey).
Over its six seasons, the series garnered three Golden Globe Awards, 15 Primetime Emmy Awards and 69 Emmy nominations in total, making “Downton Abbey” the most nominated non-U.S. television show in the history of the Emmys – even earning a Special BAFTA award and a Guinness World Record for the highest critically rated TV show along the way.
For the huge fan base of the TV show, the “Downton Abbey” movie is like spending two hours catching up with old friends – finding out what happened to the characters since the show ended, and sharing in their joys, their tragedies and their dramas.
