The Weston Park Foundation
Weston Park is a place of exceptional beauty, rich heritage and enduring inspiration. As one of Staffordshire’s most significant cultural landmarks, it offers a unique blend of history, landscape and learning. Gifted to the nation in 1986 by the 7th Earl of Bradford, Weston is now owned and cared for by the Weston Park Foundation, an independent charitable trust which is dedicated to preserving its historic house, internationally important collections and the surrounding Capability Brown Parkland.
The Foundation’s mission is to conserve and share Weston for the public benefit – welcoming visitors and guests, supporting education and research and fostering and deeper appreciation of our heritage and natural environment.
Across the estate, we continue to invest in restoration and renewal. All of the park’s historic buildings and follies have now been restored and we are actively enhancing the House and its collection to ensure their preservation and accessibility for future generations.
1986 – 2026
Throughout 2026 we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary of keeping history alive at Weston.
