Winnie the Pooh at Tatton Park
A Winnie the Pooh trail through the gardens, plus summer farm adventures on the estate farm. Aimed squarely at the under-sevens.
Tatton Park
Knutsford, Cheshire
Tatton is really two days out sharing a car park. The budget version: pay £9 to £11 for the car, depending on season, then you have 1,000 acres of deer park, walking trails, the Allen bird hide, picnic spots and the children's playground at no further cost. Red and fallow deer roam free, and for most primary-age children that is the day sorted.
The full version adds tickets: the 1930s working farm with rare breeds, 50 acres of gardens including the Japanese garden, and the mansion. Farm and gardens run £11 an adult and £9 a child each, so a family doing everything is into proper-spend territory. National Trust members do the mansion and gardens free, which softens it a lot.
The estate is run by Cheshire East Council on behalf of the National Trust, and it hosts big seasonal events all year. In summer 2026 a £20 Park and Play Pass covered daily parkland entry from mid July to early September, which locals treat as a season ticket.
Know before you go
- Decide before you go: parkland-only is a cheap day, adding the farm and gardens for a family is £30-£40 more.
- The deer are wild - watch them from a distance, especially in autumn during the rut.

Gauntlet Birds of Prey
Eagles, owls and vultures flown close enough to feel the wingbeat, at a sanctuary that is about the birds rather than the gift shop. Displays run through the day; small, and better for it.
