Dunham Massey

Join us in celebrating Percy the Park Keepers 30th anniversary at Dunham Massey this year with a series of interactive trails and activities exploring the house, garden and park.

As part of the People’s Landscapes programme in 2019, Dunham Massey is celebrating the people – past and present – who could be called ‘nature’s champions’. Through a partnership exhibition with the National Portrait Gallery, you’ll be able to join in with the very live debates surrounding the natural world.

Take a walk in the park, climb on the fallen trees and see if you can spot the herd of fallow deer on a family trip to Dunham Massey.

Easter is the perfect time for a family adventure. Join Percy the Park Keeper and his woodland friends for a Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt in the Dunham Massey garden, and be rewarded with a tasty chocolate treat!

Escape to Dunham Massey's garden and unwind amongst spring's stunning natural beauty. From the white carpet of snowdrops, the yellow covering of daffodils, return to see how the garden's landscape evolves throughout the season.

Many layers of history make our beautiful park a fascinating place to visit. Stroll the leafy avenues and admire the stunning views while getting a breath of fresh air.

So that all of our visitors can enjoy Dunham Massey, we’re working hard to be as accessible as possible.
