Chatsworth House Trip on 04-10-2026 · Leeds · Oct 4, 2026

Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, this historic building has stood since the 1550s. It houses a world-famous collection of European art which includes Ancient Roman sculpture, Egyptian artwork, masterpieces by Rembrandt, Reynolds and Veronese, as well as work by outstanding modern artists, such as Lucian Freud, Edmund de Waal and David Nash.
