Tatton Park's Farm

The perfect day out with the `kids', the farm provides a picture of rural life where time has ‘stood still’ since the 1930s and traditional breeds are still resident.

What to do at Tatton Park's Farm

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

There are plenty of things to do for the children. Feed the goats and hens, meet the pigs and donkeys and visit Aunt Mary’s 1930s cottage.  The covered play  barn has tractor and trailer rides and there are usually new arrivals to say hello to! You can milk our wooden cow in the Farm's shippon and at certain times of the year our Jersey cow  is milked there. The Farm's very own pottery is open on most days and farming and kids activities take place throughout the year. Details can be found on the Tatton Park events site. Tatton Park's Farm news will keep you up to date.

The Farm has been extended to include a childrens adventure area, which features a woodland play trail, den-building zone, two mazes (the maize maze is accessible only from July to October) and there will be story-telling on Sundays from May 6th to September 30th.

The Farm is a great children's party idea - fun and hands-on!

Today it is still an authentic working farm using traditional farming methods. It 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 on a wetter day!

For further information about Tatton Park's opening times and prices. Please note the Farm is closed during the RHS Flower Show each July.

Become a Tatton Park volunteer!Volunteers working in the piggery

Home Farm has a small group of approximately 10-15 National Trust volunteers who work on a variety of tasks from general farm maintenance to cataloguing and inventory work.

More recently we have opportunities to help out in a living history role, engaging with our visitors as 'Aunt Mary' in our 1930s cottage or butter churning in our Dairy Shippon, especially during school holidays when we are busiest.  As the farm develops over the next year more opportunities will arise such as stewarding our new paddocks along the farm drive and engaging with the public in the newly developed mill and steam engine.
