"The festival was quite remarkable and a unique social occasion. Chiswick House and Gardens Trust are immensely grateful for the financial support it provides to this beautiful public garden."
Sarah Finch Crisp,
Director of Chiswick House and Gardens Trust

Chiswick House is a magnificent neo-Palladian villa set in beautiful historic gardens in west London.

Built by the third Earl of Burlington in 1729 to showcase his art collection and to enthral his guests, the house continues to display many spectacular works of art and provides a stunning venue for entertaining.

The gardens at Chiswick are the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement and have inspired countless gardens including New York's Central Park.

The Chiswick House and Gardens Trust was set up in April 2005 to oversee the restoration, management and protection of this important historic site in south west London.

The Trust, a registered charity, was created jointly by English Heritage and the London Borough of Hounslow to manage, protect and enhance this outstanding Grade 1 villa and gardens.

A successful £12 million fund raising campaign has led to the restoration of the gardens, a project completed in June 2010. The Trust is immensely grateful to Soho House for their magnificent contributions to this project from previous House Festivals.

We are currently focusing our fundraising on maintaining and continuing to enhance the gardens, developing new education opportunities and enhancing displays and interpretation within the villa.
