About Tatton Park
For nearly 400 years the estate was the property of the Egerton family until it was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1958. It is now financed and maintained by Cheshire East Council. This is one of the most complete historic estates open to visitors. The 18th-century mansion sits amid a landscaped deer park and is opulently decorated, providing a fine setting for the Egerton family's extensive collections. The theme of Victorian grandeur extends into the garden with its glasshouses, formal gardens, Italian and Japanese gardens.
There is so much to see and do and with over 100 events each year, it makes for one of the most popular family days out in the North West. Enjoy speciality shops, the Stables Restaurant and Gardener's Cottage Tea Room. Take a visit to Tatton Dale Farm, the picture of rural life, where time has stood still since the 1930s and traditional breeds are still resident. Children can explore the adventure play area, woodland play trail and den building zone.
