Step inside the world of The Diplomat with this special, limited-time tour at the Main House at Planting Fields!

In early 2025, Planting Fields served as the backdrop for The Diplomat’s season three finale (episode eight). Transformed into a 16th-century English manor loosely inspired by Chequers, the Main House served as the perfect stand-in for the Prime Minister’s country residence.

This immersive experience is divided into two parts:

History unveiled: Discover the rich story and architecture of the Main House.

Hollywood revealed: Go behind the scenes to see how the production team created a convincing cinematic version of Chequers while preserving the character and integrity of this historic estate.

Whether you’re a devoted fan of The Diplomat, brand new to the series, or just love Planting Fields, this tour is a must-see. And don’t worry – there are no spoilers…though you may walk out eager to binge the show!
