Laura Burlington has built a longstanding career in design, fashion and retail consultancy. She has been a board member of Acne Studios, an advisor to Selfridges, and a contributing editor to Vogue and The World of Interiors. With a longstanding interest in horticulture, she was a Trustee for the Garden Museum for many years. She is the author of House Style: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth and Lismore Castle: Food and Flowers from a Historic Irish Garden.
Laura and her husband William recently made Chatsworth their home, taking responsibility for the house, garden, collections and wider estate, as well as the Chatsworth House Trust charity, from William’s parents, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Together, Laura and William are committed to conserving and energising the cultural and natural assets in their care for the benefit of their local communities, now and in the future.
Located within the Peak District National Park, Chatsworth comprises a Grade I listed house and stables, a 105-acre garden, a 1,822-acre park, a farmyard and adventure playground, and one of Europe’s most significant private art collections.
Chatsworth is also a registered charity. Chatsworth House Trust is dedicated to looking after the house, collections, garden, and parkland, for everyone. Visitor income funds essential conservation and an ambitious programme of exhibitions, events, learning and community outreach. Every penny generated by ticket sales and membership is reinvested into the charity to make this possible.
Chatsworth plays an important role in the local community as a thriving cultural and educational destination, a nationally important historic landscape, and a working estate that operates with a mindful approach to the environment and sustainability.
