What's on at Chatsworth in 2008

Every year, we host spectacular outdoor events, from International Horse Trials to the largest Country Fair in the country. This diary also lists many of our other events, from special themed weeks in the farmyard and food events at the farm shop, to our behind the scenes days and sewing schools.
