Due to an exciting filming project taking place, the House will be closed to visitors from Tuesday 15th February and will reopen as usual on Wednesday 2nd March. During this time, the Gardens will remain open and our Afternoon Tea, Tea Room and Gift Shop will still be available each weekend.

During May and June we will be hosting an exhibition of images from the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition. There are three slots remaining for three lucky members of the public to have their images displayed as part of the exhibition.

DIY SOS hero Nick Knowles knows more than a thing or two about buildings in dire need of some expert TLC. But even he must have been amazed by the scale of vital repairs at Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham when he arrived to film his latest TV series, Nick Knowles: Heritage Rescue.

The ‘New Life’ of Wentworth Woodhouse, as it emerges as Britain’s greatest heritage restoration project, will provide an opportunity to excite and inspire audiences from across the UK and beyond. We are therefore looking to appoint a consultant to create a 10-Year Cultural Strategy for Wentworth Woodhouse to help us burst onto the cultural map as a centre for rich, vibrant and imaginative programming and world class planning. Transforming lives through the provision of a vast range of high quality, dynamic cultural experiences.

Once workplace and home to hundreds of grooms and stable boys, the Stables of Wentworth Woodhouse are now set to provide jobs and training for the hospitality sector. Redevelopment of a major section of the long-derelict Stable Block, the grandest in the land when built in the late 1700s, can now get underway thanks to a £4.6million grant from The Government’s Levelling Up Fund for the North of England.
