Situated on the ducal Welbeck estate, the award-winning Harley Gallery shows contemporary exhibitions by leading visual artists.

There are hundreds of treasures on show including Michelangelo’s ‘Madonna del Silenzio’, Van Dyck’s portrait of the Earl of Strafford, and the pearl earring worn by King Charles I to his execution. The Portland Collection opened in 2016 and has attracted critical acclaim and a national RIBA award for architecture. These two inspiring art galleries are accompanied by an award-winning gallery shop, which specialises in contemporary craft from leading names and emerging makers, Farm Shop and an award-winning Café.

On a overcast day , we went to welbec as an undercover attraction. The gallery has two parts the first building is mostly modern , not my thing unfortunately. But wait ... you must go to the next building housing the Portland collection . WOW what a fascinating look at the wealth and history of the family collection . Most important of all , the gentleman on security , a retired local officer. Was totally fascinating in his knowledge of the history of the pieces on display , paintings, jewellery, articles, he really brings it to life with his storytelling and facts , you must visit if he’s there . Made the place for us .

Come and discover a 1920s house captured in time...Step back in time to the 1920s and find out how a grocer's family lived in this market town. This ordinary semi-detached house, with original interior decorations from 1923, was the home of the Straw family.For 60 years the family threw little away and chose to live without many of the modern comforts we take for granted.Photographs, letters, Victorian furniture and household objects spanning 100 years can still be seen exactly where their owners left them.As the house is rather cosy, it is essential to book a tour in advance - just give us a call to do so!

Well really two houses, as the straws actually bought two semi detached properties adjoining each other. You will be met by very informative and well trained guides in the morning or you can do your own self guided tour in the afternoon, guides are still on hand to answer your questions. Visit here is a must as many pieces will be familiar and it gives a real flavour of local life.

I work on the estate to I seen quite a bit of the place, it really is a beautiful place to work. The buildings around the estate are stunning! I have been to the brewery and sampled their real ales, they are fairly priced and very well brewed. The ale is very well known around the area. I haven eaten at the café and it is lovely, its fairly priced and the food is really fresh. The farm shop can be a little pricey but the produce is well worth the money, lots to choose from. The garden centre is situated close to the café and there is also a café in there too. The gallery is next door to the café. The place itself is a must see, I believe the tours sell out very fast but if you can get tickets, you wont regret it!! The winter Christmas market is good to visit too, plenty of food to try!

With a forty minute wait at Worksop for a train to Mansfield Woodhouse I was walking along platform1 when I spotted a sign hanging from the roof above the platform that said BAR with an arrow pointing to an anonymous looking green door. Intrigued I suggested to the wife it might be worth a look. And indeed it was! A very small, cosy bar. A proper pub with real ales, craft beers and cider. The very friendly landlady was quite happy to provide a coffee for my wife while I had a half of Weston's Old Rosie cider. Had it not been for the fact we needed to catch the train, we'd have stayed longer. The Mallard is well worth a visit and I shall definitely go there again the next time I'm waiting for a train at Worksop, even if it means missing one train and waiting for the next one.
