The Scarecrow Festival is returning for 2022 and sees scarecrows dotted around the Farm and Gardens. It’ll start on Saturday, February 19 and run until Sunday, February 27.

This year’s theme is mythical and magical and includes a Loch Ness Monster, Harry Potter and Dumbledore.

The Percy the Park Keeper trail is inspired by Nick Butterworth’s Percy the Park Keeper story, 'After the Storm'. You can buy a trail sheet for £1 at the Welcome Building and head over to Dairy Wood where an interactive trail awaits.

Families make their way through the woodland and children can take part in activities such as building a den, playing with the mud kitchen and music wall, or creating animal art.

This trail around Tatton Park also includes illustrations, excerpts from the book and asks children to help find Percy’s animal friends a new home after the storm.

The Parkland Scavenger Hunt requires families to find animal tracks, nibbled pinecones and berries in 1,000 acres of ancient deer park. There’s plenty to see along the way, including wildlife and winter flowers.

You can pick up a free Scavenger Hunt sheet from the Welcome Building or download a copy from the website before you set off.

If you book online at least three days before your visit, you’ll save 10% off every ticket. If you visit Tatton Park on a weekday, you can save money on your Parkland entry.
