Owened by the Sitwell Family the Hall has a beautiful 300-acre park containing eight acres of the most important Italianate gardens in England, and a house full of treasures large and small collected over many centuries. This is open by appointment to the public for exclusive and intimate tours with knowledgeable and friendly guides to tell you about the family, the artefacts they have collected, the history of Renishaw and to answer any of your questions. Every Friday in season at 2.30pm.

Renishaw Hall Gardens make an excellent day out for families as well as garden, history and art enthusiasts.

You can see why - even on a sunny day, the house is splendidly chilling, and its gardens beautifully and classically planned and planted. The views are far-reaching; on a misty Derbyshire day, the whole takes on a haunting and shadowy aspect, which has given rise to the many stories of ancestral spectres which continue to this day. The estate has hosted The Antiques Roadshow and was used by the BBC in Pride and Prejudice in 1995. Our Gallery Cafe serves food that is fresh and delicious and awardwinning wine that is grown on the estate - the only vineyard in Derbyshire.

Visit the fascinating Sitwell Museum and this year's exhibition The Collections of Sir Osbert Sitwell incluidng many items which have never been seen in public before.

Throughout the season the estate hosts many events for adults and children.

Rex Whistler, one of the many artists sponsored and patronised by the Sitwells at the beginning of the century, called it "the most exciting place I know".
