P041 - F2F Tattondale Farm - Interpretation

THIS HAS BEEN AWARDED _________________________ This is a ground-breaking project which will reposition Tatton Park's farm from a young-family orientated animal petting farm to a heritage centred attraction which engages not just a greater number of visitors but also a wider range of audiences with the agricultural, architectural, technological, social and cultural heritage integral to the site. This will be achieved through a capital works programme including opening up the agricultural feed mill and restoring its machinery (as well as other closed buildings); the construction of a new multi-functional group space building; a cutting-edge, site wide re-interpretation design alongside a high quality interactive activity programme of participative learning for all. The whole farm will be revitalised to inspire new and increased visitors i.e. from primary to higher education tiers, volunteers, adults, people with health/learning needs, deprived CEC wards, black and minority ethnic groups, corporates and families, with a narrative of food production for a large country estate from the 18th to 20th Centuries and its contemporary relevance to food production and healthy eating.
