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.

I was at Bramhall Hall photographing a wedding, so wanted to share a review from that perspective. The team there were great to work with on the day - especially Heidi. She was really attentive to the couple all day & easy to get hold of which is always helpful. The park area around Bramhall Hall is great for couple portraits - but if the weather is not good the interior has loads to offer. A really nice touch was Heidi mentioning the light upstairs so that I could do couple portraits in the main hall - the sun sets in front of the hall so it gives a dramatic effect with the light coming in through the windows & reflecting on the walls. I’ve attached photos - this would be a great option if the weather was wet. This space is large enough for family group photos too. A tip for the carpark: There’s a sign next to the payment machine that says the park is locked at 6:30pm - this is not the case on wedding days so if you are a guest at a wedding you will be fine to park in the large carpark - the staff lock up when they leave. There was a spare meal so I got to try the full 3 course wedding meal - it was classic tomato & basil soup starter, chicken with potatoes & sticky toffee pudding. All really tasty - the tiny potatoes with the chicken were delish!

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.

Like most of the other reviewers we hadn't actually planned to go to Bramall Hall, but we was in the area and thought we would take a look. Parking is available on site, although I'd imagine on hot holiday days this would be rammed, £2 for 3 hours for £3 for all day. (Can do shorter, just can't remember the cost!) The park is nice, there is a small kids playground at top and then various paths to the bottom where the lakes are, some of the paths also head into the woodland - all of which was great with two small people, and it looks like you could easily extend the walk into other nearby areas if you are more inclined to. At the top, close to car park is the hall itself, the visitor centre (where you buy the tickets to go into the hall) and the cafe. Cafe prices are what you would expect, hall admission is £5 for an adult which is reasonable. Hall is a nice wander with plenty of rooms, there are various screens dotted about for info. All in all, a nice stop off - we was pleasantly surprised!

Lovely park with ponds, ducks and river flowing through. Concrete main path but with dirt tracks good to explore. Food in gift shop to feed ducks. I visited the Hall itself. £5 adults and £3.50 concessions and over 60s. Fantastic building with interactive computer screens in a lot of the rooms. Lots of steep stairs so need to be able bodied and mobile. There is a lift and helpful staff on hand. Children can do a dragon hunt around the rooms since some still live at the Hall but are somewhat shy. The Hall is well worth a visit inside and a guided tour is £2 if wanted. Outside there is a cafe and a children's play area. Dogs are allowed off lead in the park. Lots of seating around the gardens to pass peaceful time, which is just what I did. Recommended for families, history buffs, dogs and anyone who wants to absorb the quiet beauty of a lovely place.

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
