Launching our new pin badge

As we reopen the Hall, we are excited to be launching the new Hardwick pin badge.

Hardwick Hall occupies a lofty and exposed position; built of soft local sandstone, wind and water take their toll. Currently in year 5 of a 10 year project, this phase of work is costing £650,000 and is the work on the West Loggia, also known as the colonnade on the front of the Hall. Work has recently and is currently being done to the roof, the ceiling and these iconic Hardwick columns including new collars made by Hardwick stonemasons. We are fortunate to have received vital funding from DCMS.

With 5 more years left in this project, we have launched a pin badge to further support our fundraising efforts. The pin badge is a little miniature of the front of the Hall and you can even see a tiny ‘ES’ which adorns the top of the Hall. Purchase your on your next visit to Hardwick.
