Surrounded by historic parkland and lakes, Cusworth Hall is a Georgian country home which holds extensive displays of local social history.

Cusworth Hall, Museum and Park, near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, offers a delightful escape into history and nature. The grand centrepiece is the Grade I listed Cusworth Hall, an imposing 18th-century country house designed in the Georgian architectural style. Today, the Hall functions as a museum, showcasing the rich heritage of the region and its inhabitants.

Inside the Hall

Step inside Cusworth Hall and explore its grand rooms and the Hall's Great Kitchen where many feasts were prepared. Admire the stunning ceiling paintings in the Italianate Chapel, revealed and restored after being hidden under layers of paint for 50 years.

Parkland

The Georgian house is surrounded by a park which was originally landscaped by Richard Wood, a follower of 'Capability' Brown, in 1760. Following comprehensive analysis of archive material, the elements of the 18th-century landscape have been incorporated into the garden. The Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a chance to spot water voles, kingfishers, and a variety of other bird species.

Family friendly

Cusworth Hall is a fantastic destination for a family outing. The Park provides ample space for children to run free, while the museum offers interactive exhibits and activities to keep them engaged. Throughout the year, Cusworth Hall also hosts special events, ranging from art exhibitions and craft fairs to historical reenactments and garden shows.
