Longley Old Hall Visiting Open days Brief history The Hall today

ARRANGEMENT FOR GROUPS TO VISIT

Groups of between 12 and 25 people can bring their own drink and light refreshments and enjoy a relaxing visit to the building.

During the autumn and winter open fires light the hall and at Christmas it is decorated in the Tudor style and candlelit. The visit will include a guided tour dealing with its history, the Wood and Ramsden families, the furniture, and, for those interested, the appearance of the dark lady, and the footsteps in the kitchen!

As the object of the evening is make our visitors enjoy themselves we are happy to leave the format of the visit to them.

During the Summer we can take groups of up to 40 people.

If smaller groups or individuals want to tour the hall there is a minimum charge of £50 to include up to 5 people, and then £10 per person thereafter
