rooms contain sculpture, furniture and porcelain of the highest quality and are complemented by the opening of the old kitchens in the Servants' Quarters.

extra family rooms are open on weekdays by kind permission (not Bank Holidays).
Petworth Park is a 700 acre park landscaped by 'Capability' Brown and is open to the public all year. £2.00 parking charge.
Spring and autumn are particularly breathtaking and the summer sunsets over the lake are spectacular.
