Welcome from Alexandra

A warm welcome to Renishaw Hall and Gardens

Whether you are a first time or seasoned visitor, Renishaw Hall is a truly beautiful place to visit.

Renishaw has been in my family for nearly 400 years and generations of Sitwells have made their mark on the architecture, gardens and wider estate which comprise Renishaw and so much of what you see on your visit. I hope you will thoroughly enjoy your time at Renishaw now it is under my care and still very much a family home.

We look forward to seeing you!

The Gardens

Renishaw is rightly celebrated for its fabulous Italianate gardens, with monthly highlights including Magnolias, Bluebell Wood and Delphiniums amongst many, many more, so why not visit and take a look for yourself.

The gardens are open Wednesday to Sunday and on Bank Holiday Mondays, 10.30am to 4.30pm during the season.

The Sitwells

The current owner of Renishaw is Alexandra Sitwell, daughter of the late Sir Reresby and Lady Sitwell. Her extraordinary family have lived at Renishaw for nearly 400 years.

The Sitwells have always been avid collectors and patrons of the arts and the history of the family is filled with writers, innovators and eccentrics.

Learn more about the Sitwells on a hall tour, with new specialist tours available throughout the season.

Renishaw Hall Vineyard Harvest

Renishaw Hall's vineyard was planted by Alexandra Sitwell's father, the late Sir Reresby, in 1972, and so this year it celebrates an incredible 40 years! Until 1986, it was certified as the most northerly vineyard in the world at 53 degrees 18 minutes north.

Renishaw Hall & Gardens offer informative vineyard tours and tastings throughout the year for groups of ten or more with our Vineyard Manager Kieron Atkinson. Read More...
