    This is my new favourite place! This building and its grounds are absolutely stunning! We arrived around 12pm sunday and there was parking chaos as there isn't many spaces but we got parked in the end (prices in the photo) also note you can pay by phone but i had zero signal. Tickets can be bought at the visitors center to the house £6.50 adult and under 16s free. The staff were lovely. The ladies that greeted us on entry to the house were really welcoming and very lovely. The house is gorgeous, each room beautifully decorated and seeped in history, truly fantastic. The grounds has a playground, duck pond with lots of ducks, a cafe with an ice cream counter (single wafer cone £2.95 or in the visitors center £2 a tub). There are toilets that were very clean. Lots of picturesque places for a picnic

    Bramall Hall is a fabulous timber-framed house near Stockport. It's less well known than Little Moreton Hall and Speke Hall but a visit is just as rewarding. There are magnificent Tudor wall-paintings which are internationally important and an Elizabethan plaster ceiling which is one of the best I have seen. Every room has something of real interest. The staff are enthusiastic and extremely helpful. The grounds are nice too.

    This property is looked after by Stockport County Council and is quite staggering . Its mainly tudor and is free entry if you are a Historic house member. Staff we met were all pleasant. There are info boards and touch screens in each room that shows interesting videos and pertinent info about the items in the room. There is a cafe on site and a large area of parkland . Car park is reasonably small and may get full at weekends. A property of the highest order

    Bramall Hall and Park offers a serene escape filled with rich history and natural beauty. The hall itself is a breathtaking Tudor manor, perfectly preserved to transport visitors back in time. Surrounding the hall, the park beckons with its tranquil atmosphere. With sprawling lawns, peaceful woodlands, and picturesque ponds, it's a perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. The well-maintained paths lead you through this enchanting setting, offering glimpses of vibrant flowers and serene vistas. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a nature lover, Bramall Hall and Park is a hidden gem that invites you to immerse yourself in its beauty and tranquility.and the best part it is free to walk around and only a small charge for the car park. I have uploaded a walk around tour on YouTube if you would like to take a look just search two feet and a camera.

    A delightful surprise, I had not originally planned to go here, but as a fan of Tudor architecture there really is no better example. The house and grounds are gorgeous, and the Cafe is nice as well. The house is incredibly well preserved and some parts, like the plaster ceiling and the wall paintings in the solar, were better than anything I've seen from that time period.

    Bramhall Hall is beautiful. I loved singing with the Renaissance choir round the tree outside. The weather kept fine but cold, the audience was amazing and the singing was fabulous.

    Apparently one of the finest examples of Tudor building in UK. Lots of rooms to explore by yourself. £6.50 entry fee. Small parking charge too but you can park in street directly opposite over the main road.

    Beautiful place lovely house set within lovely grounds. Parking is very limited unfortunately The cafe serves lovely food with friendly staff but is on the small side. This is a very popular place for people to visit so parking is a major issue, an early start or midweek visit when not as busy probably better.

    11/12/2019: Bramall Hall - 'Carols by Renaissance' - Christmas 2019. An annual event in the Great Hall, not to be missed. A mixed repertoire of sacred, secular and Christmas classics. A ticketed event, which includes a glass of mulled wine, mince pie and the Hall decked out for Christmas. Bramall Hall is a timber-framed Tudor Manor House, dating back to the Middle Ages. Within, contains 16th Century wall paintings, Elizabethan plaster ceilings, kitchens and a Servants' Quarter. It stands in 70 acres of parkland, designed in a Victorian romantic style.

    Had such a lovely time here. It's so more accessible than a museum. You are so close to everything and can touch so much. It's also child friendly. They offered all the children tool belts with binoculars, a magnifying glass and a flashlight. Their faces lit up. They got to run around and really explore. The servants quarters remind me of the servants quarters in Downton Abbey

    Bramhall Hall - A beautiful building that is full of history What is Bramhall Hall? Bramhall Hall is a Tudor building which is a visitor attraction that is located in the heart of Stockport, Greater Manchester. It consists of 3 floors that gives you a brilliant insight of how people lived there in the old times. The Davenports were the first family that lived there followed by the Neville family. What rooms are inside Bramhall Hall? Bramhall Hall is a historical building that contains numerous rooms. They are: The Chapel Banqueting Room Entertainment Room Solar Room Servant Rooms Master Bedroom Bedroom for children born Dining Room Kitchen Office Chapel The Chapel is a beautiful building with coloured glass windows. It was lovely in presentation where religious service and weddings took place.. There was also a good variety of objects including an altar and a fire place. Banqueting Room This room inside Bramhall Hall was used to bring guests together and to dine together. The art work in this room was exquisite and it featured elements of Stone Henge. It complemented well with the furniture of the room. The Solar Room This room had incredible high ceilings and amazing chandeliers hanging on the roof. There were some nice items inside some cabinets including fine chinaware. Entertainment Room This room was where the family living at Bramhall Hall during the old times would entertain guests. The room is of a decent size and included a pool table. The paintings on the walls were superb and had an oriental feel that was unique. The Servants Rooms These rooms were detailed and had the essential items too. Some servants would share a room. This was the case in one of the rooms where there was a number of beds with brushes, a simple toilet and wash bowl. Some of the items were tactile and it was a lovely getting to touch them to get a feel of their texture. Servants would work at 6am till 10pm. Dining Room The dining room was impressive. The dining table was lovely with all the plates, bowls and cutlery organised on the table. There were also lovely artwork that surrounds the room. When the Davenport/Neville families would dine in this room whilst enjoying the views of the garden. A lovely pleasant room. The Kitchen The Kitchen gave moments of nostalgia with the old kitchen utensils that you would recognise during the old times. It also had a machine in which they cleaned clothes. It was great. Entry and Admission In order to enter Bramhall Hall then you are required to book a ttmed ticket online and to pay for it in advance before the date of your visit. For pricing details then check out the Bramhall Hall website for further information. Facilities There is a park with beautiful views and a small lake. There is a café on site that serves a variety of hot and cold food including Sandwiches, Chips and Cakes. There are also hot and cold drinks on offer too. It is reasonably priced. Toilets are on site. Access As Bramhall Hall is an old historical building therefore there are no lifts. As a result you will need to use the stairs in order to access all floors of the building. In addition, some rooms had a number of steps to go up and down in order to enter the rooms. If you are visually impaired then take your time going up and down them. Parking Bramhall Hall has its own designated car park which is free to use. There are also some disabled bays where people with a Blue Badge can park there for 3 hours. If you love to learn about life in a historical building in a way that is interesting, engaging and informative then Bramhall Hall is the place for you.

    Bramall Hall is a fascinating building with and interesting history and some unique features. We weren't expecting to find so many well restored rooms. The videos which one can play as you go round are excellent, giving clear explanations, by experts, of what you are looking at. It's excellent value for money and if you're a friend of the Historic Houses Association you get in free of charge.

  • 5/5 PLesley P. 4 months ago on Google
    We had a lovely Xmas dinner here at the Stables Kitchen. Both Turkey dinner for two of us, and mushroom and chestnut wellington for me, which was delicious. Veg (sprouts, parsnips and roasties) were just right! Very reasonably priced. Followed this by a mooch around the Hall. Very interesting! Finished with a proper coffee back in the Stables. Staff were absolutely lovely! Thank you.

  • 5/5 Aneesa P. 10 months ago on Google
    Went for a quick walk in the sunshine. Very peaceful and not too busy. Car park was very convenient. The park was beautifully maintained. Had coffee in the cafe. Recommended for families and singletons.

  • 5/5 Kari D. 11 months ago on Google
    Wonderfully preserved home & grounds. Historically significant of 1200-1935. Davenport historic home originally. Delightful staff that have knowledge freely shared. We spent 2.5 hours here.

  • 5/5 Neil M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fascinating house with great atmosphere and lots of well presented information points. Definitely a 'feeling' in some of the rooms! Servants' quarters are great to see. Grounds are really pleasant to walk around with the river running through and small lakes with various wildfowl to see. It's definitely worth taking binoculars for that. Cakes in the cafe are good too!

  • 5/5 Maureen P. 9 months ago on Google
    We visited on a very rainy Sunday. We were lucky to see some medieval dancing and my friend joined in !! The Hall is beautifully preserved and the exhibits are really interesting. There are lots of rooms to visit including the servant quarters. There was a bear hunt with clues and bear information for children to read.Although an adult, I loved the afternoon tea set out for Paddington and we tried not to waken Goldilocks sleeping in the four poster bed !!😂 It is one of the best historical houses I have visited. Thank you to the staff who were helpful and friendly.

  • 5/5 Jules D. 8 months ago on Google
    We were delighted with Bramhall Hall, exceeded our expectations. The House and the grounds were stunning. Lovely day out, would definitely recommend. We spent half a day here—could have stayed longer. The restaurant served lovely food—and had gluten free options 👍. All the staff were great and very knowledgeable. One small recommendation I would make—-inside the house, put information boards up higher (all knee height!), and include more boards. Thanks

    This was about a week ago. Me and my family was going there to learn more about the Tudors. I loved how they mentioned who owned it, what the room is named and etc! Although, there was a particular room with an information telling me they saw ghosts there was quite.... scary for me. It was fun, I expected rats in there as it's old but no! They certainly clean it well. The scenery is beautiful, the lake or the little river has adorable ducks in it. They sell duck food there, no biggie if you forgot to bring any duck food.

  • 5/5 Chaz L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place if you want a nice day out. We went on a Friday in the school summer holidays and it wasn't too busy. I paid the fee to go round the house (£6 for adults, £5 for students, children entry is free) but I paid for the bear trail activity thats running at the moment which was £3 each). The kids get a trail sheet to follow and they can learn info about bears and the house as they go round, there were craft activities to do too along the way, and when they managed to find the last bear and unscramble the word they got a badge each. The Hall is stunning, lots of culture for adults and children and very knowledgeable staff on hand too. There's a cafe and you can eat inside or out but we took a picnic and sat on one of the benches overlooking the river. The park/play area is cute and for up to aged 8 years old, not massive but enough to keep them entertained. Parking is limited though there are 2 car parks with limited spaces but we parked on the road free of charge and walked to the park end which was a couple of mins away.

  • 5/5 Heather L. 3 years ago on Google
    A delightful park , with a winding path from the main gate up to the 12th century Jacobean hall. Plenty of areas to picnic either overlooking the lake, which has numerous ducks and geese or a visit to the cafe is ideal also there is a playground for families with children.

  • 5/5 jeff p. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Bramhall Hall on Wednesday 6thApril with our two grandchildren 6 and 2.10 months. Great afternoon out ,friendly and helpful welcome when we arrived . Well presented guide sheets for what to look out for as well as touch screens in the rooms. Added bonus of the Easter trail for our elder grandchild looking for Easter egg clues as we walked round plus a massive easter bunny in the dinning room! Chance to put on costumes in the banqueting room! So plenty for the children to enjoy but also for all of us to appreciate the beauty of the rooms and the exhibits and capture a sense of the social history of this lovely building. Thanks so much for a great visit which was also very good value with children going free and adult prices very reasonable.

    What a gem! Found it in the Historic Houses guide and really pleased we visited. The wood panelling everywhere and superb historical relics and furniture make it really worth a visit. Very friendly staff too. Thank you for a great experience.
