Explore the secret lives of the downstairs staff with Meadow Brook Hall’s Servant’s Life Tour, inspired by the popular show Downton Abbey.

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) when the head housekeeper invites them to be part of the staff. Guests will learn how the servants lived and worked at The Hall 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. Guests will also receive a commemorative gift of a special loose leaf tea sampler and strainer. It’s the perfect way to bring old world charm to your life!

Events begin at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Because of the historic nature of the mansion, most areas of the Servant’s Life Tour are not accessible to wheelchairs.
