Tatton Social is set to provide safe, family-friendly fun throughout August. Held at Ashley Hall on Cheshire’s renowned Tatton Estate, the event combines kid-friendly fun with a Cheshire twist, while adults can enjoy Bar Tatton – perfect for those looking to enjoy a tipple in the countryside. It’s open every fortnight during August (starting on August 16th) to welcome families on a Sunday.

You can also enjoy fairground rides, artisanal food trucks, independent craft stalls and beautifully-made drinks in the open air. These are the key ingredients to Tatton Social, which is part of a brand new plan for the estate, seeing family events hosted regularly in the coming months in this beautiful patch of Cheshire countryside.

Dogs are more than welcome, encouraged even, and your photogenic pup could win a hamper of treats as part of the #InstaDog competition. Even better, the hand-picked selection of traders rotates each time so you’ll always find something new and exciting, during every visit through these summer months.

If you fancy a stroll around this stunning location, you’ll find signposted rural walks throughout the event – even more reason to bring Rover. But the main focus is the artisanal food truck pop-up. This family-friendly event will provide a lifeline to anyone who’s had their summer plans affected by the local lockdown – it’s all set outdoors, in the grounds of the estate and is completely in line with social distancing measures so safety concerns won’t be an issue.

Tatton Social offers music, craft stalls, fairground rides, a farmer’s market, rural walks and more, along with the stunning countryside views that come part and parcel with the Tatton Estate. Entry is free, aside from a £5 per car parking charge.
