The Historic Hall
Your visit to the Hall is like stepping back in time.
Imagine you are a guest at an Edwardian country house. Enjoy the elegant surroundings and an opulent lifestyle, waited on hand and foot, perhaps taking tea with Lady Sefton.
Or imagine being a servant, rising early and toiling in the kitchens, scrubbing floors or carrying coal, all under the watchful eye of the housekeeper and butler.
Generations of the Molyneux family, the Earls of Sefton, lived at Croxteth Hall from the sixteenth century until the death of the last Earl in 1972.
Society figures and royalty frequently came to stay for country house parties, particularly in the Edwardian era. Today the rooms are open to the public, showing life both 'above' and 'below' stairs. The Hall is also a venue for concerts and art exhibitions.
Character figures and displays introduce you to the Molyneux family and their servants - you can even smell the food cooking and 'eavesdrop' on their conversations!
Special walks and events make our heritage come alive - and on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons our costumed Heritage Volunteers will answer your questions.
