The Farm
Perfect for all the family, the farm provides a picture of rural life where time has stood still since the 1930s and traditional breeds are still resident. Children can feed the goats and hens, meet the pigs and donkeys and visit Aunt Mary’s 1930s cottage. The farm is set in a corner of the park known as Tatton Dale and was, in its heyday, at the heart of the vast Egerton estates, feeding family, guests and staff at the mansion, as well as servicing the park and the outlying properties. Today it is still an authentic working farm that uses traditional farming methods and has recently been given Rare Breeds Accreditation for its commitment to helping to sustain rare breed farm animals. Most activities can take place under cover making the Farm an ideal place to visit even if it's wet!
The Farm is open 11am to 4pm (last entry 3pm) every weekend during low season (Oct 6th 2009 to March 26th 2010) and during October Half Term (Oct 27th to 30th) and February Half Term (Feb 16th to 19th 2010). It is also open during Christmas Dec 26th to Jan 3rd
