Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care. This special event will take you behind the scenes to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day, and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.

Once known as 'the finest garden in England' and rooted in family rivalry, Wentworth Castle Gardens now provides space for relaxation, reflection and opportunities for people to enjoy nature and beauty. We will explore the garden, including a castle which is not what it seems, and go behind the scenes to give a glimpse of the vision the National Trust has for the future of this site we only started looking after in 2019.
