A historic house will temporarily shut while filming crews take over the grounds.

Burghley House, in Stamford, will be used as a filming location for an upcoming production.

As a result, Burghley House, including the Orangery, Courtyard Shop and South Gardens, will be closed from March 31 to April 4.

There will still be areas of Burghley that are open to the public, including the Adventure Play & Gardens (including the Sculpture Garden and Garden of Surprises), along with the Garden Café, the Garden Shop and the wider Parkland.

A spokesperson for Burghley House said: "Please note that at certain times alternative walking routes may be in place and there may be increased vehicle activity within the parkland.

"All areas will reopen as normal on Easter Sunday, April 5.

"Income generated from filming projects like this helps support the ongoing preservation of the House, as well as conservation, restoration and education projects across the Estate.

"We do appreciate that these temporary changes may cause some inconvenience and we apologise for any disruption caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding."
