The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth
Exhibition details
Entry included with all house and garden tickets
‘Botany, the science of the vegetable kingdom, is one of the most attractive, most useful, and most extensive departments of human knowledge. It is, above every other, the science of beauty.’
James Main, Popular Botany, 1835
Flowers in all their forms take centre stage in The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth, the 2025 exhibition in the house and garden. The exhibition features both historical and contemporary works of art from the Devonshire Collections, and is supported by key loans from national and international museums, and new artist commissions.
Inspired by the estate itself, The Gorgeous Nothings builds on the work of an important lineage of landscape designers, gardeners, scientists and botanists who, over the last six centuries have planted, gathered, foraged, researched, collected and preserved an array of botanical treasures at Chatsworth, from rare botanical volumes and illustrated manuscripts in the Chatsworth library to coveted specimens in their garden and grounds.
The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth is curated by Allegra Pesenti and designed by Pippa Nissen from Nissen Richards Studio.

Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Football
Unlike a conventional football match, Shrovetide Football is much longer than a regular football match and is played over two eight-hour periods. The goals are three miles apart and there are very few rules. The ball is rarely kicked but instead moves through a giant 'hug'. There is no set pitch: the game is played throughout the entire town, so shops and businesses board up their windows in preparation!
