Features

  • Enter a grand Victorian home: Visit Brodsworth Hall and Gardens and spend the day appreciating the grandeur of Victorian living. The Hall was built in the 1860s and the grand ground floor rooms still recall the house’s Victorian heyday, with glittering chandeliers and marble statues. But as you continue to explore, the picture changes. The last owner, the indomitable Sylvia Grant-Dalton, fought a losing battle against subsidence and leaking roofs, making do and mending with dwindling funds and ever-fewer servants.
  • See the glorious gardens: Over the past 30 years, we’ve been restoring Brodsworth’s extensive gardens with brilliant bedding, formal topiary, a fern-filled dell and quirky garden buildings.
  • Have some family fun: Kids will love exploring the gardens and the outdoor play area, and the hall’s history is brought to life by changing exhibitions and friendly volunteer room stewards. Let little ones run wild in the gardens: wander over and under the bridges of the fern dell; sniff your way through the wild rose dell; and be sure to have a peek at the historic outdoor loo!
