WELCOME TO FAIRFAX HOUSE
Fairfax House is a historic townhouse in the heart of York with over 250 years of history to discover. We focus on telling exciting people-led stories through our exhibitions, events, and wider engagement.
We use the superb Noel Terry collection of furniture, clocks, paintings and decorative arts, described by Christie’s as one of the finest private collections of the twentieth century, to bring the past to life and create a special lived-in feeling.
What's On
We are delighted to announce that Fairfax House has been awarded the 2025 Historic Houses Collections Award. This award recognises excellence in the preservation, interpretation and display of historic house collections.
