Beneath the Surface Exhibition Teaser | #wentworthwoodhouse |
Here at Wentworth Woodhouse, we're celebrating the 300th birthday of artist, George Stubbs, by returning his paintings to Wentworth Woodhouse and displaying them publicly in South Yorkshire for the first time!
George Stubbs has long been revered as a ground-breaking and curious artist, possessing an exceptional ability to present animals with a human-like quality. In 1762, Stubbs spent some time at Wentworth Woodhouse, working on paintings commissioned by the Second Marquess of Rockingham.
In our largest exhibition to-date, Beneath the Surface features Stubbs’ work alongside pieces by contemporary artists, including Ugo Rondinone, Mark Wallinger and Tracey Emin, who have drawn on similar themes. These artists also look beneath the surface, exploring animal and human experiences through their innovative and thought-provoking work.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a vibrant programme of workshops, talks and tours, including activities in the Stubbs Hub and a scavenger hunt for the little ones, to help everyone get the most from the artworks on display.
The exhibition is open now until 03rd November 2024. To find out more and book tickets, visit wentworthwoodhouse.org.uk/whats-on/beneath-the-surface/
Any money made from our exhibitions goes straight into the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust and contributes towards the restoration of this magnificent House & Gardens.

For this episode of Wentworth Woodhouse: Off Limits, we're back in the area from our first short to provide an extended look at the part of the House that used to provide bedroom accommodation for the servants who lived at Wentworth Woodhouse. This is just one of the many areas of the site that, for now at least, has to remain 'off limits' to visitors, simply because of how unsafe it is. Our vi...

I did see a video about the place yrs ago,,there was an old man eating by his self,,he seemed very happy
That would be awesome Mya 😊
I've only just seen this and found it very interesting, so well done guys. You fall in love with Wentworth Woodhouse the minute you see it, and I'm so proud to live nearby ❤
Thank you, we're glad you liked the video! This is one of the videos our young volunteers we're excited to create for an exhibition last year, to not only showcase their passion for film, but their love for the House and it's use as a filming location for many great productions! As you say, you fall in love with Wentworth Woodhouse each time you see it and we're just as proud to serve our local community just as much as the community is proud to have the House nearby!
Miracle and fortunate we are her letters survived.
RHS.....wonderful news! ❤❤
Thank you, it is wonderful news and we can't wait for it to happen!
Was Wentworth the same home the Uk government requisitioned for coal mining destroying the front lawn and damaging the houses before returning it to the family. ??
It is.
If you would like to find more on the topic of coal mining, we currently have an exhibition on in the house and will have some videos coming soon with Jo too! We also have a video on the channel about how coal mining affected the House and gardens called 'The great garden rescue' which you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/XesP0whaUY8/v-deo.html
@@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse thanks
So sad. The word "demolished".
Is there any record of the original function of these rooms or their use prior to the changes made for the Lady M college? Seems that part of the video shows an upper part of the kitchen ? Is that right? Many thanks
This part of the house was the servants wing. The kitchen, laundry, sleeping quarters. I believe there was also a barbershop,sick room and a room for making candles.
So much work to do!
There really is, but with our and out visitors passion for Wentworth Woodhouse and as we keep raising vital funds, we'll have it covered in no time!
Very cool! Thanks. 😊
Thank you for watching!
Great update!
Thank you!
Cool! And sometimes creepy!😂
Thanks for going down there!❤ Brave Souls you are!
It can be very creepy down there, especially when you're down there on your own!
What a marvelous presenter, such a lovely voice and perfect diction.
Thank you, Taylor is a great addition to our presenting team!
Taylor AND Adam are both excellent!
Thank you, they both are an asset to our team and it's great to have such young talent with us!
Really appalling treatment of the environment and local interests by government.
An excellent history lesson - thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
This was a wonderful video and Taylor is a marvelous presenter. Congrats!!!
Thank you, glad you like the video! Taylor is a great addition to our presenting team!
Thank you 🎉
Thank you for watching!
Taylor J did a great job
What a good presentation, the clarity of Taylor’s voice was just lovely and a joy to watch. Thankyou Wentworth Wood House.
Thank you for watching and the lovely comment! Taylor is a great presenter to have on our team!
In video.
Remember watching the commercials increase the channels revenue.
They really do!
I do look forward to these updates on a Sunday evening. So interesting. Thanks Wentworth Wood House.
We're glad you love our releases, thank you for watching each week!
This is just so exciting. I really look forward to each update as they come through.
Thank you, we look forward to bringing you these updates!
Fantastic update
Thank you!
It's fascinating to see the transformation, keep up the fabulous work!
Thank you for the comment, we will do!
What a bizarre WW video! What the heck does a comprehensive introduction to Johnston Racing for potential racehorse owners have to do with WW? Absolutely nothing. Whoever agreed to fund the production of this video needs their head examining. Absolutely the worst WW video you’ve posted.
The spooky combination of the cellars and the music reminds me of a computer game called Myst from about 30 years ago. The people who worked down there would have some stories to tell I bet!
It does have a spooky videogame-esque vibe down in the Cellars which a lot of our younger volunteers in the house really love, which is why it's been used in many productions from student films, to our in-house filmmakers clubs short films right to big budget productions such as Netflix's Bodies series. You're completely correct though, if those walls could talk down in the Cellars, there'd be many stories to tell! Glad you enjoyed the video!
As an American I truly appreciate all the important work you all are doing. I can only help by my subscription on UA-cam and I hope it helps a little bit.
Thank you for your comment, we appreciate your support and your subscription really helps us to grow on UA-cam and achieve our goals! It's the smallest act that makes the biggest difference to us!
one step at a time! you've achieved so much since the beginning !!! congrats!!!
Thank you for the comment! It is just the beginning and we'll have even more to come!
you need to grow your channel and rake in you tube income
That's our active goal and something we're working on! Even if we can grow the channel to showcase Wentworth Woodhouse to an even more diverse audience, we'd be happy with that!
Great informative video presented by Vicky who always sounds so enthusiastic. Get the overnight stay rooms done and I bet everyone of them will be fully booked, people love the heritage. Thanks Wentworth Wood House.
Thank you for your comment! Vicky is a great presenter to have, who brings so much life to our videos!
Love to see this. So much design and craftmanship even at this level. I wonder if it was a local firm that supplied the bricks. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, we're glad you enjoyed the video!
A labyrinth to get lost in thank you for sharing, very spooky 😅
You're not wrong, it's easy to get lost down there!
Very spooky. Thanks Wentworth Wood House for sharing.
Our Cellars do have a certain spooky atmosphere to them! Thank you for watching!
Wonderfully atmospheric with just the right music. More seriously, the extensive network of underground cellars and passageways illustrates the massive infrastructure needed to maintain a house of this size.
Thank you for the comment, we're glad you like the video and we hope to highlight this point you made in a future video!
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I wish some one was there to tell me what I'm looking and where it is! A map would be most helpful!!
Thank you for your comment, in this video we wanted to show off the atmosphere of our Cellars below the House, with it's network of passageways and rooms, such as the Pillared room you can see in this video which is directly below the Pillared Hall main entrance! We have a longer video in this series coming soon which will be presented by one of our lovely volunteers which will go more into the story of the places we've featured in this series and what the future holds for each space, so please stay tuned for when that releases in the near future.
Wonderful news!
Thank you!
I have always been curious about the heights of the ceilings on the principal floor and the ground floor. Can you please tell me what they are?
Excited to visit in October!
Excellent! We hope that you enjoy your visit.
Fabulous!
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Well done for getting the garden show, let’s hope it will be shown on T V this will put Wentworth Wood House on the map for more people to enjoy. Great video, thanks Wentworth Wood House.
Thank you!
Congraulations on the well deserved accolades
Congratulations and best wishes .
Thank you for watching!
im so endlessly smitten with the craftsmanship history of the uk and europe. the absolute skill involved is just bonkers. she looks and sounds wonderful again. may god smile on that.
It's so reassuring to see that such specialist artisan craftsman, with such obvious passion for their work, are still around. And another great video.
Thank you, we're glad you like the video!
