In 2015, the Derbyshire Charity Clay Shoot funded the development of the Stickyard – a dedicated outdoor education centre.
Located with access to the gardens and woodland, the Stickyard provides an exciting base for a range of outdoor learning activities, including:
- Curriculum-linked education sessions for schools
- Family learning events
- Outreach projects
- A varied programme of tours, talks and workshops
- Training days
The Stickyard can also be hired for celebrations, corporate events and group activities.

Devonshire Educational Trust
The Devonshire Educational Trust (DET) is an independent charity that works in partnership with the Chatsworth House Trust to provide educational opportunities across the Devonshire Group.
The charity was established in 2004 to enhance the educational experiences of children and young people visiting the Chatsworth Estate. We now provide educational opportunities across the Devonshire Group and offer diverse and accessible educational opportunities; from learning about matters of historical, artistic and architectural interest, to learning about the countryside and rural landscape.
Through guided, self-guided and specialist education packages, the Devonshire Educational Trust provides quality education that reaches and inspires all backgrounds and abilities.
