SPECIAL EXHIBITION – ‘A PASSION FOR THE TURF’

Few families can claim a more exceptional position in racing than the Earls of Derby. The family’s association with racing can be traced as far back as Ferdinando, 5th Earl of Derby, who was keenly involved in the sport during the late sixteenth century.

This year’s special exhibition celebrates ‘A Passion for The Turf’ and will feature captivating racing paintings and a variety of memorabilia including photographs, racing cards and silks from the archives.
