Tatton Park is one of the UK’s most complete historic estates. It is home to a Medieval 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 stunning parkland is home to two herds of deer and is ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. Tatton’s shops offer a wealth of gifts and produce reflecting the character of the estate.
The impressive Neo-Classical Mansion was designed by Samuel and Lewis Wyatt. It provides an appropriate setting for the Egerton family’s commissioned Gillows furniture and lavish collection of art, books and ceramics. The huge kitchens give the visitor a contrasting view of domestic life in the 1880s. A visit includes the permanent Maurice Egerton exhibition and a number of temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
