Please join us on Sunday 22nd January for the Sheffield DA Winter Walk in the extensive grounds of one of Derbyshire's most historic and architecturally significant buildings, Hardwick Hall.
Hardwick Hall dates back to a 1587 commission by 'Bess of Hardwick', who, after Elizabeth I, was the wealthiest woman in Britain at the time. The 'old' hall was closely followed by the commissioning of the complementary 'new' hall in 1590, built in the fashionable Renaissance style and reputed to be more glass than wall, this hall was one of the earliest examples of a non-fortified dwelling and a clear and impressive demonstration of Bess' wealth.
Hardwick is a popular setting for walking, offering a range of options within the 2,500 acres of park and woodland.
