Deene Park is a medieval country manor located 5 miles north-east of Corby in the county of Northamptonshire, England. It is home to Deene House, a largely sixteenth-century mansion that has been in the Brudenell family since 1514, seven of whom were titled the Earl of Cardigan - the most notable being the 7th Earl who led the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava.
The house is furnished with antiquities from different periods and with paintings including works by Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. The large gardens featuring a lake were designed by David Hicks. The manor is located in the countryside not far from the Harringworth Viaduct and is surrounded by historical villages and hamlets .
Throughout the 1990s, Deene Park hosted the annual August bank holiday Greenbelt Festival.
