Calke Abbey ready to be revealed for the Spring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Get a private behind the scenes tour and join the house team as the dust sheets come off after the winter deep clean and they prepare for season opening. See some of the specialist techniques used to conserve the vast collection.<\/p>\n

House and Collections Manager, John Parkinson, says:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity to really get behind closed doors and experience how we open up the house for a new season; ready to welcome another 100,000 pairs of feet during 2013. We\u2019re excited to share our skills and show people what hard work really goes on to keep the house going\u201d.<\/p>\n

The House will re-open on Saturday 23rd February 2013 after a well deserved rest! Calke Abbey wasn\u2019t designed as a public building so after welcoming thousands of visitors in 2012 The National Trust need time to carry out conservation work so future generations can enjoy the house and its contents.<\/p>\n

As part of your tour enjoy a delicious 2 course lunch in the restaurant, prepared by our Calke chefs using fresh and locally produced ingredients.<\/p>\n
