Rufford Old Hall

Join us on site at Rufford Old Hall for free this Heritage Open Day. Explore the Tudor house, gardens and woodlands in Autumn colour and then stop by the tearoom for a tasty treat.

Throughout the day we will also be joined by Red Rose Woodturners who will be demonstrating the art and craft of using hand-held tools on a wood lathe, turning a piece of wood into an object. They’ll also be the chance to purchase some of these wonderful, handcrafted pieces created by members of the Red Rose Woodturners.

Inside the house, see demonstrations of traditional yarn spinning and hear lute performances throughout the day in the Great Hall.
