The £3.6 million programme was partly funded by the European Regional Development fund and the Single Regeneration Budget. It has included conserving Bolsover Castle's Riding House, revealing the Little Castle's panelled interiors, repairing the Venus fountain and creating a discovery centre. English Heritage describes the castle as having been "built to provide a 17th century retreat from the world into an imaginary golden age of chivalry and pleasure at a time of great cultural activity in England." Britain's first true timber gridshell building, designed by Edward Cullinan Architects, is being built to provide a building conservation centre at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum near Chichester, West Sussex.
