Upcoming events at "the big house" include what the Trust descibes as its "most ambitious exhibition to date."
Beneath the Surface: George Stubbs & Contemporary Artists will run for three months and brings seven remarkable works by George Stubbs to the Rotherham stately home to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the artist’s birth - and his residency there in 1762.
It is now known Stubbs created seven artworks at Wentworth Woodhouse for the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham over many months in 1762. Four of these 1762 paintings are "coming home" on loan from a private collection.
The exhibition, sited in the mansion’s State Rooms and free to view with a house admission ticket from July 30 to November 3.
Other events this summer include the return of outdoor music, theatre and cinema, The Great British Food Festival, WE Wonder and workshops and summer camps.
Also on display is the exhibition of Wentworth’s Coal Story, which launched last week and runs until October 6, explaining how the fossil fuel industry affected the mansion’s rise and fall.
