🕰 The North Tower Clock Chimes Again 🕰 We are delighted to share that following your incredible donations for our Just in Time fundraising campaign earlier this year, The North Tower Clock is now fully restored and chiming for all to hear! This was one of our biggest fundraising achievements to-date, with supporters achieving the £15,000 target within just two weeks! This meant work could get underway with conservation experts to save the clock and bells that hadn’t worked in over 60 years 🔔 These wonderful mechanisms are important features on the main façade of Wentworth Woodhouse - their completed restoration and chiming bells signify the hopeful journey we’re on to restore and return this magnificent site to its former glory. #wentworthwoodhouse #rotherham #heritage #bighousebiggerideas #southyorkshire #culture #restoration #countryhouse #conservation #yorkshire #fundraising #visityorkshire

🕯🎄 Is it too early to mention the c-word (Christmas!)? 🎄🕯 6 months today we’ll be lying on the sofa with paper hats falling off our heads, having indulged in one too many roast potatoes. With that thought in mind, we’re super excited to announce the theme of this year’s festive experience - ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas! This December we will be taking you back in time for a yuletide treat based on the classic poem - expect mice, sugar-plums and stockings hung by the chimney with care. 🐭 Our team is working busily behind-the-scenes to create an event which promises to be even bigger and better than before… Expect more magic, more lights and even bigger smiles! ✨ Further details can be found on our website (link in bio). 🎨 With thanks to @elliemaedesigns__ for the beautiful artwork! #twasthenightbeforechristmas #christmas2024 #christmas #magic #lighttrail #event #rotherham #southyorkshire #countryhouse #heritage #culture #families #thingstodo #christmasevent #savethedate #festiveseason #wentworthwoodhouse #bighousebiggerideas
