Norton Priory Museum & Gardens

Norton Priory Museum & Gardens is a fantastic day out, with an award winning museum, excavated medieval ruins, the spectacular St Christopher statue, the lovely Walled Garden and the extensive woodland and sculpture trail.

We have a wide ranging events programme throughout the year, with great events and activities for visitors of all ages!

Norton Priory is a world class community museum, and we aim to entertain, educate and involve people through our collections, site and gardens.

We are also committed to environmental sustainability and in 2006 we received the Gold Award for Green Tourism.

Norton Priory also manages Halton Castle, which is open on special days throughout the year.
