Behind the Scenes: Winter at Chatsworth

The care of Chatsworth and the Devonshire Collections is central to the work of Chatsworth House Trust, the registered charity dedicated to preserving the house, its collections, and landscape for everyone.

Each winter, while the house is closed to visitors, the Preventative Conservation Team undertakes an intensive programme of deep cleaning and maintenance.

Farmyard & playground

Closed for winter conservation. Reopens 21 March 2026

The farmyard has been a favourite day out for children since 1973. There are so many farmyard friends to meet, from Eugenie the rare breed Suffolk Punch mare to Itsy and Bitsy the pygmy goats. 

Take the secret tunnel to the playground for exciting woodland adventures, with tall towers to climb, slides, swings, sand and water play.
