Open this Saturday...

A pleasant and overlooked piece of Manchester’s diverse history. Fitted rooms, detailed and decorated with real artefacts and displays, echo the ambience of past and give our present an opportunity of reflection.

There are connections to Shakespeare, witchcraft, gardening, and nature amongst extensive grounds surrounded by the historic moat.


Throughout the visit, the historic walls, belfry, and varied facades make for good photography. The welcoming staff of volunteers are an asset to a hidden gem only a stones throw from the Etihad Stadium.


Manchester’s Metrolink is across the road at Clayton Hall stop, with the Ashton canal, and Clayton Hall in close proximity to allow more exploration. The hall is a must for historians, families, and those with a curious eye.

Brilliant!
I was brought up around there on Stanton Street, less than a two-minute walk away.
 
Went there years ago (20 odd years ago) it has a moat around it! Beautiful building

It really is something pleasant. The gardens and landscapes are something the volunteers should be proud of.

I am looking forward to a brew again there soon. Then across the road to The Grove Inn (Josph Holts), by the Clayton Hall Metrolink stop.
