Elizabethan
Your visit takes place in 1581 during the reign of Elizabeth I, Henry VIII’s daughter. Tatton is the home of Sir Richard and Lady Dorothy Brereton who are currently away settling a family crisis. The children are travellers looking for the Manor’s hospitality and will become involved in the work of the village - wool has to be spun and woven, wattle and daub panels in timber frame buildings repaired and the year’s harvest threshed and winnowed. During your visit, a long-lost friend will return with news of Tudor adventure and mystery, bringing the intrigues of court-life with them to Tatton.

Activities:
The programme will be mainly held outside (weather depending), so our team make a final decision about specific activities on the morning of the event. However, typical activities include: spinning, wattle & daub, threshing & winnowing and weapons. Don't worry if the weather is poor, we have an indoor programme that is just as exciting and engaging so you won't miss out!
Our advice is to wear sensible shoes, dress warmly and for the weather. Remember - we are a period site without central heating!
