Welcome to Eyam

The hall is open to visitors and offers a glimpse into the life of the wealthy families who lived in the village during the 17th century.

In addition to its history and natural beauty, Eyam is also known for its vibrant community. The village has a strong sense of community spirit, and there are several events and festivals held throughout the year, including the Eyam Well Dressing Festival, which takes place in May. The festival involves decorating the village's wells with flowers and other natural materials, and it attracts visitors from all over the world.
