A litter later, there will be a fearsome Halloween which will be full of witchy mischief, spooky entertainment and a whole park-full of Roald Dahl frights.
There’s also a magnificent display in the Tatton Park mansion of Roald Dahl book covers spanning throughout his greatest works from around the world, where guests can see how their favourite books have appeared on shelves throughout time.
Don’t forget to find time to explore the picturesque Tatton Park estate and its beautiful surroundings including the Georgian mansion, Tudor Old Hall and award winning gardens.
