Chatsworth reveals details of phased reopening
Chatsworth, which is part of The Devonshire Group, has revealed details of its phased reopening following lockdown.
The world-famous visitor attraction reopened its 105-acre garden to the public on 29 March, when restrictions first started to be eased.
It has said that its farmyard and adventure playground will reopen from today, while Chatsworth House itself, which is home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, will once again open its doors to visitors on 18 May.
Tickets are now on sale and must be booked in advance.
Each area of Chatsworth will reopen in line with government guidance on social distancing, household mixing and travel restrictions applicable at the time.
The Duke of Devonshire said: “After many months with the house closed and largely empty, the Duchess and I are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of being able to reopen Chatsworth and welcome back all our visitors.
“This last year has been an incredibly difficult time for many people but it is wonderful to be planning for the lifting of restrictions – and we look forward to seeing people enjoying a visit to the Peak District.
“I’m particularly excited that we have a pair of medieval masterpieces to reveal to our visitors when the house reopens in May.
“We have added many thousands of new plants and lots of trees in the garden during the past 12 months and it now looks as good as I can ever remember.”
