Houses and Homes: Old and New

The Mansion at Tatton Park is an old house and was the family home of the Egerton’s for many years. Come inside to see how they lived and how different this house is from your own home. Compare and contrast all the key living spaces (dining room, kitchen, bathroom etc) and consider how technology in the modern world has made our lives much easier.  This engaging tour can be adapted for Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 groups.
