Clayton Hall is open to the public on the first and third Saturdays of the month between March and November. There are also other events taking place -- visit our website to find out more. Hands-on stuff in every room, winding staircases and costumed Victorians make Clayton Hall a fun place to explore for the whole family.
Absolutely the best afternoon tea in the UK and we have tried a lot of them. Really good blend of savoury and sweet that had more savoury treats than any other we have tried. Everything is baked fresh we even had tiny fresh cream cakes. The staff are absolutely brilliant and a huge credit to Clayton Hall which is one of Tamesides hidden gems. It gets booked up very quickly so you have to book in advance. You won't be disappointed definitely 10/10 score for us.
Googled this house and it was showing as open today. Got to the front door and was told it was closed. I am currently a volunteer at Turton Tower so thought it would be nice to see where Humphrey Chetham lived. Disappointed with the information provided via Google (can this not be changed?) One of the ladies at the door was kind and polite and waited whilst I showed her the Clayton Hall Living Museum page on the internet, which clearly stated the house was open. The other lady, not so polite, (especially towards my mother) tried to shoo her out of the door! I appreciate that the house was closed but the door was actually physically wide open at 2.30 this afternoon.
What a beautiful (history rich) quaint place with dedicated knowledgeable staff providing interesting tours of its past. The building is truly lovely set within a surrounding moat, which unfortunately is now dry. The staff run a little cafe that serves tasty soups, sandwiches, bacon butties and a variety of cakes, oh and not to forget the usual teas, coffees and hot chocolate drinks. Additionally in the house area the staff members encourage children to dress up in period costumes and experience first hand what is was like to live and work within the buildings periodic heyday. Well worth a trip, plus please join their Facebook site for further details on upcoming events.
What a hidden gem this is. Fantastic hands on museum. Staff are amazing and take time to answer any questions. Interesting talks given too and cafe provides lively food at affordable prices. Worth a visit.
What a hiddem gem. Volunteers were brilliant and keen. Great opportunites to see what a grand house was like over 100 years ago and for children (small or grown up) to dress up. Cafe was very reasonably priced and we had some home made cakes. Only open first and third Saturday of the month.
Lovely little house to explore with lots of things you can actually pick up and look through. The cafe is nice and very affordable. Good cake!
