October half-term at Tyntesfield 

Things are getting spooky at Tyntesfield this half-term (21 - 29 October) so we're expecting to be pretty busy with Hallowe'en fan-gs. If you're looking for a quieter visit, we're likely to be less busy during afternoons mid-week, and the wider estate walks are a great way to get away from it all. Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy your visit.
