About

5th January 2026 - 25th February 2026

Join us for an exclusive tour revealing rarely seen garments. From elegant gowns to servants' uniforms, each one is stitched with history and the stories of those who wore them.

The tour will take you across all three floors of the House, exploring the lives of the family, staff and the world around Calke through the clothing worn and collected - much of which has never been on display before.
