WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE

WHAT'S ON THIS SPRING  - We've added a new, exciting programme of events to the What's On section of our website!

Guided tours of the mansion and our 18th century stables will be running every morning, Wednesday to Sunday, and in the afternoons you can enjoy exploring the rooms yourself on our family-friendly, one-way ‘freeflow’ experiences.

Our popular tearoom has an exciting new menu to tempt you - thanks to our new Head of Hospitality Darren Procter. Darren loves to work with quality local produce - his ingredients include herbs and honey from our Head Gardener.

There's a distinctly Yorkshire flavour in our gift shop, too - with a locally-made range of handicrafts, jewellery, books, even beer and gin to tempt you.
