Father's Day, on Sunday 18 June, brings the opportunity to honour the amazing men in our lives.
Celebrate them by spending time together, or select a gift or memorable experience you know they will love.
Tour the house
If he loves history, art, architecture, or discovering something new, a tour of Chatsworth House is just the ticket. Make it extra special by adding a trip up the Belvedere.
Explore the garden
At 105 acres, and incorporating a maze, rock garden, pinetum, sculptures, water features, and much more, a walk (or buggy tour) around the garden offers the opportunity to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
Make new friends at the farm
Animal fan, or would-be farmer, take him on a trip to the farmyard to make the acquaintance of our rare breed sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and more. While he's there, he can enjoy a free milking demonstration and drinks or lunch in the cafe.
Walk in the woods
Stand Wood, the medieval woodland behind the house is free-to-access and offers a choice of walks taking in far-reaching landscape views as well as historic landmarks, including Paine's aqueduct and the Elizabethan Hunting Tower. It's also a haven for insects and wildlife.
Father's Day feast
Gift a three-course seasonal lunch or afternoon tea in the Cavendish. You can book online or gift a voucher he can redeem in the future.
Action packed day out
A ticket to Chatsworth Country Fair (1-3 September) offers an action-packed day of live entertainment in the air and on land, plus cookery demonstrations, fine dining, shopping, and have-a-go rural sports.
An eventful experience
Help him learn a new skill or indulge an existing passion with tickets to one of our talks, tours, workshops, or events. From guided estate walks and sketching lessons to our big tree climb in August, there is something for every interest.
A countryside escape
Allow him to relax and unwind with a stay at one of our comfortable inns or hotels in the countryside. Choose from picturesque locations in Derbyshire or Yorkshire.
Something from the shop
Let him know you're thinking of him by sending a special gift from our online shop. Choose from themed hampers packed with farm shop favourites, small-batch brews, sculpture, gift vouchers, and more.
Fathers and Friends
With a Friends membership, he could enjoy unlimited visits to Chatsworth House, Garden, and Farmyard as well as free parking, complimentary tickets to selected events, and discounts in the shops, restaurants, and accommodation.
