About This Event

The 'From Venice to Cheshire: The Grand Tour Story behind Tatton's Library' event will take place on 23 September 2026 at Tatton Park in Warrington, with admission required. This event will explore the story behind the rare books at Tatton Park. The Grand Tour story behind Tatton's Library will be discussed.

Discover how rare books from across Europe found their way to Tatton Park through the travels and ambitions of Samuel Hill and his nephew Samuel Egerton. From the canals of Venice to the libraries of England, this talk explores the world of the eighteenth-century Grand Tour, where books, art, and collecting became symbols of taste, status, and curiosity.

Through beautiful and rare items from the collection, Rachel reveals the people, stories, and European influences that helped shape Tatton Park’s library into a window onto eighteenth-century culture and travel.

Perfect for anyone interested in history, books, travel, art, or uncovering the hidden stories behind historic collections.
