Visited last week and it looked amazing from a distance, cannot wait to visit and explore inside when it opens.

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

Glad you liked what you saw! Keep watching the channel and we'll let you know when the Camellia House reopens in 2024.

What a transformation, a beautiful building which is shining bright again - reflecting both the horticultural and architectural history of Wentwood and beyond.

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

Thank you. We're very proud of what's been achieved.

You are welcome!

I like to see that magnificent buildings like this are being restored instead of bulldozed them ;) hope that the restoration of Lynnwood hall will look as magnificent as Wentworth ;)

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

Thank you. We're following developments at Lynwood Hall. Very interesting to see that they are planning to offer 'hard hat' tours as soon as they can :-)

[@dianeleahy3345]

Thank you!!

I do admit that it better suits a gentleman's library or smoking room, but a well shellacked knotty pine alone makes for a beautiful room and would have looked lovely in this setting. I like how this structure mimics the mansion by having two distinct facades. Are there any plans to replace/replicate the four statues and two baskets of flowers that were on the top of the camellia house? Excellent video.

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

That's a really good question and the answer is yes. No-one seems to know where the original four statues have gone or when they were moved. They represented the Four Seasons and we do have some ideas about how we might replace them, but they weren't part of the scope of work for this project. Watch this space though! :-)

Beautiful work. Will the camellias not grow up to the roof again?

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

Over the past few years, we've been carefully pruning the camellias to gradually reduce their height. This in turn has promoted new growth from lower down on the trunks of each of the plants, and this will thicken up over the coming years. We want them to have a bushy appearance, much as they did when the family lived at Wentworth Woodhouse. If you take a look at this video on our channel, at about 0:52, you can see what we mean: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXu4pWmwnsykbck With continued pruning we'll achieve this look and prevent the camellias from getting too tall for the building.

[@richgodsrg]

Woohoo.....when can I book??

[@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse]

The Camellia House will formally open in the spring of 2024, but we'll be running a few test events there between now and then.

[@richgodsrg]

Oh. I thought it opened this year. Will you keep members, like myself, up to date when booking available?
