Ordsall Hall

Ordsall Hall, Salford's Grade 1 listed Tudor manor house was first recorded in 1177. Since then, it has been home to medieval gentry, Tudor nobility, Catholics loyal to the crown, butchers, farmers, an Earl, an artist, priests, scout troops, mill workers, cows and several ghosts!

Today, it is an engaging heritage site open to visitors 5 days a week throughout the year. Surrounded by landscaped grounds, it boasts hands on exhibitions, immersive room settings and a small cafe. The Hall re-opened in May 2011 following a two year £6.5 million restoration project.

Why not bring a picnic to eat in the orchard and then enjoy a peaceful stroll around the house and gardens?

Our Learning team provide school visits for Key Stage One and Two, as well as for Key stage three and above. These include our garden sessions and ESOL visits.

The changing contemporary exhibitions, history events and activities programme, completes a must visit experience for individuals, families, schools and organisations to come and enjoy.

The Hall and grounds are free to visit. Find out more to help plan your visit including whats on (link is external), directions, opening times and facilities available.
