We can’t wait to welcome you to Ordsall Hall! We are FREE and welcome all children accompanied by a responsible adult. For information on opening times and getting here, please see our Visit pages.

At Ordsall Hall we strive to be family friendly throughout, with accessible ways of engaging with our collections and lots of hands-on activities. Online resources and activities are also available to bring our collections to life for visitors of all ages!

  • Buy a Let’s Explore Bookmark Trail in advance or on the day.
  • Pick up a pocket money friendly souvenir from the Shop
