Every year, Chatsworth House Trust publishes the Chatsworth Review to showcase the myriad ways the dedicated team work to preserve and share the rich heritage and culture of this historic property.

Chatsworth House Trust is a registered charity that exists to look after the house, collections, garden, woodlands and park at Chatsworth for the benefit of everyone. The Trust has an obligation to produce an annual review that sets out its charitable purpose, reviews the past year, explains its strategy and assesses how it has met its objectives.

Having worked with Chatsworth on packaging and restaurant design, and installation projects we were familiar with the brand and the values behind it, which made us the natural choice to revitalise the Trust’s annual review. Since 2022, we have designed, edited and published the document, elevating it to a weighty coffee table read that encapsulates the important work that goes on behind closed doors, up in the woods and across the parkland.

From repairing 18th century Chinese wallpaper to fixing broken waterworks and maintaining the 105 acres of garden and grounds, the work carried out by the Chatsworth team is varied and detailed. As such, we designed a publication with clear sections, beautiful photography and interesting facts to bring to life the everyday activity that goes on throughout the estate, using graphic design to spotlight visitor numbers and significant goals.  

The final publications are satisfying to hold and the meticulous attention to detail in the design fully reflects the wonder of the estate and the commitment of the Chatsworth team as they maintain this important British landmark.
