We are a charity
The Elvaston Castle and Gardens Trust (ECGT) is an independent charity. The organisation will manage the estate through a long-term lease agreement with Derbyshire County Council. This means that Elvaston will always remain in public ownership.
With your support, we can secure the future of the Castle and ensure it remains open and accessible to everyone for generations to come.
