It is with huge sadness that Wentworth Woodhouse has to announce we are not able to deliver the ‘Once Upon a Wentworth Christmas’ event scheduled for 19th – 22nd December.

Is there no end to the talents of our volunteers? A team of 22 are now in training as film-makers! Normally their invaluable help is given in our gardens, on house tours or supporting our Front of House, maintenance and events staff. Now they have signed up to become an important part of the Wentworth Woodhouse Digital Programme, which will be launched in 2021.

Imagine walking through the corridors of Wentworth Woodhouse, and hearing the whispers of the backstairs maids, or catching a fleeting glimpse of characters from centuries-past…

Wentworth Woodhouse is arguably the most challenging and exciting regeneration project of our generation. Prior to COVID-19, the business is growing exponentially and will do again. It is an exciting time to play a significant part in that growth. Hospitality is one of the key areas of expansion and we now require an experienced and dynamic leader to drive this area of the organisation forward.

Supporters of Rotherham stately home Wentworth Woodhouse will need to be quick if they want to see its beautiful Palladian frontage completely scaffold-free. The Grade I listed mansion has been shrouded in a huge scaffold shell for the last 18 months as £7.6million of roof repairs were carried out. Work is almost complete and the metal shroud is now coming down at a rapid rate.

We are so sorry to announce that our Mansion, tea room and gift shop is to close from November 5th to December 3rd, in line with government COVID-19 restrictions announced on Saturday.
