The stately home, which is the largest in the UK, has been closed to the public for 60 years but is now launching as a private events venue. It also holds regular tours and will play host to the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow later this year.

Owned by the Newbold family, the house has 365 rooms, including the Marble Saloon originally built in 1780 and designed by Thomas Watson-Wentworth, the 1st Marquess of Rockingham.

Daniel Gill, managing director of Dine, said: "For the Newbold family to open their doors to those planning unique events is a milestone in the house’s history and we look forward to working closely with them on all upcoming projects.
