Winner - Large Visitor Attraction Of The Year - Visit Chester & Cheshire Awards 2009.

Please see below  for news and forthcoming events.

Tatton Park is one of the UK’s most impressive historic estates, boasting a stunning neo-classical mansion that gives visitors a contrasting glimpse of the lavish lifestyle of the Egerton family and the domestic life of their servants.

Fifty acres of award-winning gardens includes a restored kitchen garden and pinery, a famous Japanese garden, a fernery and an arboretum among its many wonderfully varied features.

The atmospheric and mysterious Tudor Old Hall (as featured on television’s Most Haunted) welcomes visitors on special open days.

Tatton’s Farm is perfect for the family, providing a picture of rural life in the 1930s. It is home to a variety of rare breed animals with Rare Breeds Survival Trust Accreditation.

The 1,000-acre deer park is home to red and fallow deer and every season brings its own rich variety of birds and wildlife. The parkland, woodland and meres provide plenty of opportunity for exploration on bike or on foot and perfect spots to enjoy a picnic.

Within the estate, Tatton’s speciality shops sell a wide range of products reflecting the park’s character, from estate reared meats in the recently expanded Housekeeper’s Store; to fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden in the Garden Shop and unique items reflecting Tatton’s history in Tatton Gifts. 

Together with the Stables Restaurant and a year-round events programme, a visit to Tatton has a unique mixture of history, culture and countryside which combine for a magical day visit.
