There’s so much to see and do during a visit to Astley Hall, Coach House and Park
Visitors can step back in time as they enter Grade I listed Astley Hall Museum, learning all about the lives of those who lived and worked in the historic house in years gone by.
In the grounds of the Hall visitors can explore the beautiful, volunteer-maintained Walled Garden, and across the courtyard visit the Grade II listed Coach House building, perusing the Museum Gift Shop, or heading upstairs to take in the latest exhibition in the free-to-enter Coach House Gallery.
Our onsite businesses Cafe Ambio and Barrica in the Park are on hand for all food, drinks, sweet treats, unique gifts and artisan goods.
Venturing further, visitors can explore over 100 acres of parkland, including idyllic woodland paths, wide open playing fields and children’s playground.
