Ordsall Hall

Great place for kids to play and learn.Free entry, but donations are encouraged.

If you live near by it definitely worth a visit. Will probably take 30-40 minutes tops to walk around both building and grounds

My wife and I visited today and had a great time. There's a lot of history to be had, beautiful gardens, a small cafe and gift shop, as well as being easy to get to (a short walk from Exchange Quay tram stop).Steve was really friendly and very knowledgeable.

An absolutely beautiful historic house and gardens, with lots of fun and educational things for kids to interact with. Nice little cafe and shop. A real spot of tranquility in the city. And all free and accessible! Will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our visit here.The hall had a lot of history & ghost stories.The staff were great, and knew every question I asked about the hall.There is a lovely cafe with cakes & well made drinks.It is free but donations would be welcome.

A diamond in the rough, what an amazing hidden gem.What a well kept building with a lovely cafe and many helpful friendly staff to guide you around or add extra information to your visit.

A great cheap day out. (Free if you walk there!)Having lived next to Ordsall for a number of years, I felt the need to check it out. Between modern residential streets, Ordsall Hall sits with beautiful architecture and well kept gardens.The staff are really friendly and there are a number of interactive elements for kids. We walked around the whole building in around half an hour. But we could have taken it even slower. With a rich history and some great stuff on display, I highly recommend you check it out.

As a free to visit historical house it was a good find and broke up our last day in Manchester. It isn’t a particularly big venue and you won’t be blown away but it’s historical attributes but it’s a nice visit and has great historical architecture.It won’t take too long to go around the space. We were there for 20 minutes

Fantastic day out. The hall is free and the parking is 5.50 for up to 6 hours.I took my 7 year old to see an outdoor theatre production of Hercules, it was amazing, we are definitely going to go and see an outdoor production there again. Great value for money. Having never been there before, I was really suprised at what we found. The staff who work there are friendly and very informative. The hall itself was great to look around with lots of trying on armour and traditional tudor dress. Outside the grounds are very well kept and we met a gardener who was really helpful with advice on growing sweetcorn and other veg. The cafe and gift shop are reasonably priced. They take card :) The toilets are plentiful and very clean. A great place to go and have a picnic weather (depending) there is also outdoor seating on a terrace,we took our own folding chairs. Fantastic gem of a place . A great day out!(

Beautiful restored historic Hall. I enjoyed a fantastic visit. Exploring all round, in and outside the grounds of this great museum.
