Garden Light Trail Closure | Saturday 21st December

Due to the yellow weather warning and high wind forecast, we have made the difficult decision to close the Garden Light Trail on Saturday 21st December to ensure the safety of our team and visitors. The House and food outlets will remain open as usual until 4.00pm.

Here at Wentworth Woodhouse, we are working hard to make our visitor experience accessible for all as we develop and regenerate the site.

Thursday 31st October to Wednesday 13th November, 10.00am-4.00pm

In collaboration with Dig Where You Stand, our latest exhibition, Fractured, explores the overlooked Black lives that have passed through, moulded and formed part of the cracks of Wentworth Woodhouse in centuries gone by.

This important showcase will bring the unknown Black Georgian community of Rotherham to light, revealing some of the earliest recorded African-descended people in South Yorkshire. Their names are Thomas Blake, George Senegal, Henry Fryday, Romulus and Remus, and this exhibition will tell their stories.
