Events

Join us on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th February for a special gaming event, as part of the Phantoms at the Priory programme.  This event is included with General Admission tickets.

Explore three worlds of tabletop games, suitable for all ages:

Perhaps you will chose to venture into Norton Priory's past and and help Lady Katherine Brooke defend the house against royalist soldiers from Halton Castle.  You might even see her phantom during your visit...

Or, will a a spooky adventure in a haunted house catch your interest... if you are brave enough, of course...

Maybe, you'll be tempted to become a misbehaving bear, on a grand heist to steal Ranger Paul’s stores of honey.  

All sessions will be held in the Medieval Undercroft, with no prior knowledge required to join in.

This event is open to all ages, with games suited for younger and more experienced players. Our fantastic Game Masters will guide people to the best session for you.

Just bring yourself and your imagination!

A hands-on workshop to learn about grafting fruit trees from an expert tutor. Graft a couple of small apple trees to take home using Norton Priory's heritage apple varieties. The session will be led by Katie Tonge from Heathfield Orchards.

Katie is the former Chief Executive of the Cheshire Landscape Trust and now manages and advises on orchards across Cheshire. She helps to maintain the orchards at Norton Priory and worked with us to create the new Oldfield Orchard.
