Kedleston Hall

We're looking forward to welcoming you back to Kedleston this season. Please read this article to find out what is currently open, how to book a visit and what to expect.

Crunch your way through fallen leaves and enjoy outdoor adventures as the colder months set in. Dogs on leads are always welcome and there are plenty of spots for picnics and natural play.

This year family days outside are more important than ever. Join us this half term as the parkland explodes into a wash of colour and the trees begin to turn.

Learn about how Kedleston’s vibrant story and how it is entangled with global histories, from Rome to India.

Find out about George Nathaniel Curzon, a politician, colonialist and contentious individual, and his roles from Viceroy of India to president of the National League for Opposing Women’s Suffrage.

We’re telling the story of Lord Curzon’s involvement in the anti-suffrage movement. Find out more here.

Kedleston, along with a number of other places and collections in our care, has direct links to colonialism. Learn more about what we are doing to address the histories of slavery and colonialism and to acknowledge their impact and legacies.

Kedleston is collaborating with a team of historians, including Dr Corinne Fowler at the University of Leicester, on Colonial Countryside. This child-led writing and history project explores African, Caribbean and Indian connections at 11 of our places.

Ahead of a project to rethink how the Eastern Museum at Kedleston is displayed and represented, we listened to individuals and organisations to help us explore this opportunity.
