Important update
Due to the prolonged dry weather, the levels in the lakes that feed the water features in the garden are very low. Therefore the water features will be running at reduced levels and for limited periods until further notice. We apologise for any disappointment.
Please note that between 19 October and 1 November we’ll be decorating the house for our Christmas experience. The house is closed between 2-5 November to allow us to finish the installation, ready for when we open for Christmas on 7 November.

Today, Chatsworth is cared for by a registered charity, Chatsworth House Trust, which preserves the house, garden and parkland for everyone to enjoy, and cares for the Devonshire Collections; works of art that span 4,000 years, from ancient Roman and Egyptian sculpture, and masterpieces by Rembrandt, Reynolds and Veronese, to work by outstanding modern artists, including Lucian Freud, Edmund de Waal and David Nash.
There are over 25 rooms to explore*, including the magnificent Painted Hall, regal State Rooms, restored Sketch Galleries and atmospheric Sculpture Gallery.
