Welcome from Alexandra

A warm welcome to Renishaw Hall and Gardens!

Whether you are a first time or seasoned visitor, take a tour around our new-look website and plan your visit with us. 2012 is a big year at Renishaw Hall and Gardens, with fantastic events planned through the season and a special Royalty & Renishaw exhibition to mark the Queen’s Jubilee. Click on the links below to find out more.

Renishaw has been in my family for nearly 400 years and generations of Sitwells have made their mark on the architecture, gardens and wider estate which comprise Renishaw and so much of what you see on your visit today. I hope you will thoroughly enjoy your day out at Renishaw now it is under my care and still very much a family home.
