People curious to see Weston Park's servants' quarters or the 28 beautiful bedrooms can with a behind the scene tour taking place this Sunday.

Weston on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border is a living house and hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year which helps the Weston Park Foundation to generate the income which helps towards maintaining the house.

The "Upstairs, Downstairs" behind the scenes tours give visitors the opportunity to take a look at these fascinating and busy parts of the house not on the public route.

The tours will include some of the bedrooms, newly re-decorated middle drawing room, family staircase and the music room with paintings of the 3rd Earl's horses.

A knowledgeable guide will talk about the 3rd Earl's lavish house parties, family history, how the house has evolved throughout the centuries and the work of the Foundation today.
