Welcome to Tatton Park
Tatton Park is one of the UK’s most complete historic
estates. It is home to a Tudor Old Hall, Neo-Classical
Mansion, 50 acres of landscaped gardens, a rare-breed farm and
1,000 acres of deer park. Our speciality shops, restaurant,
adventure playground, events and educational programmes combine to
make Tatton one of the most popular family days out in the North
West.
The Old Hall was the estate manor
house until the late 17th century, when work commenced on a new
house. The Neo Classical Mansion, is celebrated for its Gillows
furniture and collection of ceramics, paintings and books. The
library collection is considered one of the finest in the National
Trust.
50 acres of beautiful gardens reflect over 250 years of
garden design.The gardens are renowned for their remarkable
glasshouses, the Japanese Garden, considered the finest in Europe
and the extensive Kitchen Gardens.
The working
rare-breed
farm is a must-see for our family visitors. Meet our rare
breed cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, poultry and donkeys and
take part in themed events throughout the year.
Herds of Red and Fallow deer roam freely in 1,000 acres of
parkland. The meres,
woodlands and rough grassland provide a perfect habitat for
wildlife. The parkland is a stunning setting for a leisurely stroll
or high-octane cycle. Children adore the adventure
playground.
Tatton hosts over 100 events a year including the RHS Flower Show, Summer
Picnic Concerts with the Hallé Orchestra, car shows, antiques fairs
and much more.
For nearly 400 years the estate was the property of the Egerton
family until it was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1958.
It is financed and maintained by Cheshire East Council.
Tatton Park was the winner of Cheshire's Large Visitor
Attraction of the Year 2009 and 2010.
