SUMMARY:Exclusive guided tour\, dinner and overnight stay
DESCRIPTION:We are sorry this event is now closed for bookings \nExclusive tour with the Earl and Countess of Derby and overnight stay at Knowsley Hall Sunday 10th August  \nThis August\, we are delighted to offer a truly exceptional opportunity. A special guided tour of Knowsley Hall hosted by the Earl and Countess of Derby\, with dinner and an overnight stay.

The unique exhibition will showcase equestrian paintings from the family’s private collection\, not usually on public display\, with a variety of racing memorabilia including – photographs\, trophies\, racing cards and silks from the archives. \nFew families can claim a more exceptional position in racing than the Earls of Derby. The family’s association with racing can be traced back as far back as Ferdinando\, 5th Earl of Derby\, who was keenly involved in the sport during the late sixteenth century. The 12th Earl forged the family’s indelible association with horse racing when he established the race called The Oaks in 1779 which has survived as one of the classic events in the racing calendar. During a dinner party at The Oaks The Derby was dreamt up\, with Lord Derby’s guests having to decide whether to name it after their host or his friend Sir Charles Bunbury. Legend has it the decision to call it The Derby was made on the toss of a coin leading the race which was destined to become the most famous horse race in the world\, to be called ‘The Derby’ in 1780. \n  \n  \n
