This years festival is all about the ordinary working people who cared for Clumber and made it into the extraordinary place we know today. Meet our costumed interpreters around the park to learn about who those people were, from Housekeepers, to Stableboys, to Chauffeurs, to Gardeners.

If you want to dive a bit deeper still, there will be a programme of 30 minute talks taking place throughout the day given by our knowledgeable volunteers.

‘From Carriage to Crankshaft: The Dawn of the Motor at Clumber Park’ - 10am and 12:30pm

'The Hard Yards of Clumber's Stable Staff' - 10:30am and 1pm

'Behind the Scenes in Clumber House' - 11am and 1:30pm

'The Lost Mansion' - 11:30am and 2pm

‘From grandeur to survival - life in the Walled Kitchen Garden 1899-WW2’ - 12pm and 2:30pm

The University of Nottingham Manuscripts and Special Collections Department will also be joining us, giving visitors the opportunity to delve into the archives and discover what they reveal about the ordinary people who worked at Clumber. Find them on the site of the historic mansion.
