Cabinets Unlocked: Sensory Explorers is a family event at Ham House and Garden where visitors explore the house's unique collection of cabinets using their senses. You can listen to music etched on a cabinet, smell precious spices once kept in these beautiful objects, and search the house for lost cabinet keys. It is part of the Cabinets Unlocked programme and finishes with a 17th-century musical performance from The Morley Consort. Visitors can also enjoy the walled Kitchen Garden and seasonal activities, colouring-in and toys in the family Garden Room.
