About
Walton Hall and Gardens beckons visitors with its lush 12‑acre parkland, the storied 18th‑century Walton Hall, and a delightful Children’s Zoo featuring alpacas, donkeys, and native wildlife – all free to explore. The historic hall, adorned with oak‑paneled walls, a grand staircase and gilded ceilings, offers a glimpse into the life of Lord and Lady Daresbury. Beyond the main gardens, the venue hosts picture‑perfect wedding venues, including the elegant Hall, the Old Riding School, and romantically carved tipis, and it offers seasonal attractions such as Santa’s Grotto and Christmas at the Zoo, which require advance booking. Whether you’re strolling through the formal gardens, snapping photos around the castle‑like interiors, or interacting with the animals in the zoo, residents and tourists alike find the place to be an idyllic destination for families, couples, history enthusiasts, and children alike.
