Speke Hall, Garden and Estate

Step into a magical environment this spring. Deep in the heart of the woodland is an ancient oak tree which has been transformed by award winning artist Serena Korda into a sculptural sound installation with over 300 ceramic mushroom bells. Inspired by the folklore of the native bluebells that grow beneath its branches, The Bell Tree celebrates the dark side of the fairy kingdom.

Step into the courtyard at Speke Hall to discover a sound piece that will bring to life the hidden rebellions contained within the very fabric of the building. Inspired by priest holes, spies and eavesdroppers, artist Serena Korda has created an installation which is a atmospheric companion piece to The Bell Tree.

Join us for a summer of outdoor theatre. We've got Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing and Sense & Sensibility, all set with Speke Hall as a beautiful backdrop, as well as a brand new family friendly production of Adventures in Wonderland.

We're delighted to be hosting four fantastic films at Speke this September as part of the Summer Nights festival of outdoor film screenings in beautiful heritage locations. Will you be joining us for Bohemian Rhapsody, Top Gun, Terminator 2 or Dirty Dancing?

There's so much to enjoy with your family in the grounds of Speke Hall that it may take more than one visit to fit it all in! Discover our maze, two play areas and the Giant Childe of Hale play trail. The grounds are open every day so come and explore, whatever the weather.
