Tatton Farm & Mansion re-open

Tatton Park’s Farm will reopen on Wednesday 8 July and the Mansion on 15 July. 

Free chocolate for children

To celebrate free chocolate will be on offer to children as a welcome-back treat!  Bags of chocolates will be given to customers at The Stables Restaurant and visitors at Gardens, Farm and Mansion for as long as stocks last. 

Book online for Tatton Park’s attractions 

If you wish to visit the Farm, Mansion or Gardens, you will need to book online at tattonpark.org.uk, where you can buy tickets and pre-book a timeslot. This new way of managing visitor numbers has worked well for the Gardens, so the same process is being adopted for the Farm and Mansion.

You’ll be just in time to see new arrivals at the Farm

Mother Nature didn’t take a break during lockdown. Since 21 March, the Farm has welcomed no fewer than 38 lambs, one pedigree Jersey calf, 18 piglets and numerous chicks. “It’s been strange not sharing Easter and lambing season with visitors this year, but the animals have kept us busy” says Farm Manager Jayne Chapman. “And there are more new arrivals on the way! Summer is a great time to visit the Farm as Molly, our very rare Middle White pig, is expecting a litter of pure bred piglets on the 17 July. We also have 10 Red Poll cows starting to calve any day, so visitors have plenty of new arrivals to see. Staff can’t wait to welcome people back to the Farm and I think even the donkeys will be braying with excitement.” 

It’s been a long wait since Christmas at the Mansion

 “Six months is a long time!” says Carolyn Latham, Mansion & Collections Manager at Tatton Park. “The last time visitors walked through our doors it was decorated for Christmas, so to finally open on 15 July is just wonderful. A carefully-planned and marked route will take visitors around the Mansion, including State Rooms and Servants Quarters, as well as our new exhibitions for 2020, which we’re so pleased to finally share with people.” All exhibitions are included with a Mansion entry ticket.
