When you think of Hardwick, do you picture atmospheric halls, beautiful gardens, vast green spaces or maybe it’s just the gorgeous National Trust cake and a lovely cuppa?

Most people don’t think about the workers toiling on the estate who made life comfortable for those who lived in the ‘big house’. Well this is about to change!

Join us, and discover more about the Hardwick’s Stableyard, the focus of the estate worker’s activity.

Find out what the buildings were used for, and how they have been renovated, meet some of the people who lived and worked on the estate in the past and follow our suggestions about how you could explore the Hardwick Estate yourself.

We hope that you are inspired by our stunning property!
