Turton Tower Events

Help support Turton Tower by joining in one of the two events being held over the next 6 months. First, Friends of Turton Tower are trying to encourage people to visit the site over the school holidays:

Pack up your teddy and come down to Turton Tower where a teddy bears’ picnic is being held on Wednesday, August 5.

Bring your bear and enjoy a fun bear themed story, a tasty picnic and a mystery bear trail around the historic house.

Booking is required for this event that is suitable for pre-school and year 1 children with an accompanying adult.

Two sessions are arranged. The first will run from midday until 2pm and the second 3-5pm.

Tickets are £5.50 per person, which includes picnic, storytelling and bear trail.

There will be an indoor ‘carpet picnic’ if it’s wet weather.

And Turton Tower is now open everyday throughout the summer holidays.

The tower will be open everyday until 31 August with the tea room opening at 10.30am until 5pm and the tower opening midday until 5pm.

Councillor Michael Law-Riding, executive member for Leisure and Culture, said: “Now the summer holidays are getting underway it is a great time to visit Turton Tower.

“The Grade I listed building set in beautiful grounds makes for a fun and educational family day out. “
