Great tour led by a couple of very knowledgeable guides.

Nicely rebuilt after the arson attack

Great to look around after the arson attack a few years ago.

Fantastic place after reopening!

Rarely opened, this was organised by the Friends of Wythenshawe Hall who are tremendous - volunteers with a lot of knowledge. Look up the website for opening times.

A historic gem! The Hall was a royalist stronghold in the English Civil War: it was besieged by Oliver's Army over several months and a statue of Cromwell faces the Hall which his supporters attacked!Within, the Hall has recovered well from the arson attack in 2017. There are gems like the original panelling, hidden doors, distinctive furniture and artefacts.The Hall, staffed by volunteers, is presently open one Sunday per calendar month - with a themed focus. The volunteers seem to be well informed and a visit is well worth the £2 entrance fee... (under 10's are free).The park itself is worth visiting: ar well as woodland it boasts an impressive horticultural centre, an urban farm, and an excellent perimeter path for walking, cycling or running. The cycling facilities for BMX or MTB are impressive, especially for the U16. And next to the Hall is a delightful café!
