Heritage Weekend at Petworth House

Petworth House and Park Petworth House, Petworth

Join us over the Petworth Heritage weekend to explore the extraordinary art collection in the striking state rooms of the Baroque inspired House. Take a stroll in the expansive Capability Brown landscaped Park, where you might spot some of the fallow deer herd. Relax in the Pleasure Garden, the perfect place for a picnic. The servants' quarters by contrast offer a glimpse of life 'below stairs'. Over the weekend we will have family games for all to enjoy, and art on the lawn to have a go at. The Ice House will be open over the weekend, one of the biggest still to exist in England.
