Holly Cottage is in the Estate village of Pilsley, one mile from Chatsworth House, at the heart of the Chatsworth Estate in magnificent landscape of Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park.

Chatsworth is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and is one of Britain’s best loved historic houses and estates, that offer something for everyone to enjoy, from famous works of art, young animals and the spectacular fountains in the garden to the finest shopping, food and drink and many miles of free walks.

The house, garden, farmyard, adventure playground, gift shops and restaurant are open every day until 23 December 2007.

The 1000 acre park and the famous farmshop and its restaurant are open all year round. From 3 November, the house is dramatically re-presented for the Christmas season.

In 2008, Chatsworth is open every day from Wednesday 12 March to the weekend before Christmas.

A highlight of the season will be new displays of rarely seen treasures associated with the extraordinary Bess of Hardwick, who died 400 years ago. She built the original house at Chatsworth, and also the unique Hardwick Hall, and founded a family dynasty who became the Dukes of Devonshire. There will be special events and talks associated with her anniversary through the year.

In the garden large and previously secret area, called Quebec, revealing magnificent trees, a 300 year old water cascade and new paths made around a newly planted North American arboretum will be unveiled

Two new site specific sculptures, by Allen Jones and David Nash, will also be installed in the garden, the farmyard and adventure playground will open with the new Shire horse foal, and packed programme of events, activities and demonstrations throughout the year. The café and shop are being rejuvenated with a complete makeover, to offer the best food and gifts for family visitors.

The international Horse Trials will return on 10 and 11 May, and the Country Fair takes place the week after the August bank holiday.

Also in the planning stages are a series of exciting outdoor events, including concerts, a motor rally show, plant sales and numerous static car rallies.

In a first for Chatsworth, the estate will be hosting the Kirker Music Festival at Chatsworth, a five day all-inclusive music festival in September, with five chamber concerts, including four in the beautiful 19th century theatre, special tours and visits to other attractions.

Details will be available at the, Kirker website  and it will also be possible to book tickets for the five individual concerts.

From early November, the house will once again be transformed for our Christmas season, with dramatic decorations and beautiful lights and music. More details will be announced shortly.
