Burghley House

March 18

The House and Gardens re-open and this year’s exhibitions, included in your House and Gardens ticket, will be ‘Capability Brown at Burghley’, exploring Brown’s influence on both the parkland and the House, and The Victorians at Burghley, which brings to life fascinating objects used and obtained by family during the Victorian period. Also on Saturday The Private South Gardens offer magnificent seasonal displays of Narcissi and spring bulbs and give an injection of formality into ‘Capability’ Brown’s sweeping vistas. Admission included with a House and Gardens or Gardens only ticket.
