Hall opens
Friday March 21 is the first day of opening for the new 'season' here at Croxteth. Staff in the Hall, Home Farm and Victorian Walled Garden are all busy ensuring everything is ready for Easter Weekend.
Hall rooms are being prepared to display life for the Earl and Countess of Sefton and their servants as it would have been at the turn of last century, during the Edwardian heyday of the estate. Croxteth Hall's curator and heritage volunteers are busy cleaning and dressing the rooms after the winter break to display 'Upstairs Downstairs' life.
Don't forget, housed in the peaceful surroundings of our Victorian Walled Garden, is Liverpool City's historic Botanical collection
- the largest botanical collection in public ownership in the country. We have 3 national collections housed here - Solenostenum (Coleus), Dracaena (Dragon Plants) and Codiaeum (Crotons)
On the Home farm, as well as the rare breed farm animals, there are 2 litters of piglets, with spring lambs and Easter chicks to see. There are also a couple of young calves, with more 'on the way'.
If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a Heritage Volunteer, please call the Hall on 0151 233 6910 to find out more.
