This elegant Georgian villa is not only beautiful to look at but also houses a world-class collection of art. The Wernher Collection features over 700 items, including sculptures, jewellery, paintings and tapestries accumulated by 19th-century diamond merchant Sir Julius Wernher.

Grimsthorpe Castle – Season 3’s Innovations Ball
Bridgerton Locations manager Tony Hood spoke of the challenges of finding the perfect location for new character Lord Hawkins, an eccentric innovator. “We had to bring in changes that weren’t typical of a Regency house,” Hood says, “we reasoned that Hawkins would have gone for something a little bit strange. It’s where we shot the Innovations Ball, which was fantastic, and we had a great time up there [at Grimsthorpe Castle].”
The castle is open to visitors on Sundays and Thursday until May 23. You can also purchase tickets to the gardens via the Royal Horticultural Society. Become a RHS member to gain unlimited access to RHS Gardens across the country and discounted tickets to the annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show where this year you will see the Netflix Bridgerton Garden.
