Shibden Hall

Enter a house where you sense the family has just gone out and allow yourself to absorb 600 years of history. Built in 1420, Shibden Hall with it's oak panelled interiors and atmospheric room settings is Halifax's Historic Home. The Folk Museum and Barn also offer you a world without electricity, where craftsmen worked in wood and iron. Shibden Hall has an active programme of events ranging from craft demonstrations to concerts. We also offer an exciting education programme where schools might meet the Tudor Mistress of the house or help with Victorian Wash Day!

Shibden Park and Countryside

At Shibden Park you can improve your skills on the boating lake or practise your pitch and putt, take a ride on the nostalgic miniature railway or sit back and watch your children play in the various attractions. You can refuel at the Café or kiosk, walk the dog, feed the ducks or have a quiet picnic by the meandering stream.

Shibden is a perfect place for a leisurely walk with over 37 hectares of rolling parkland. You might choose to linger in the bluebell and wild garlic woods or practice your map reading skills on our orienteering course. The Countryside and Forestry unit offer a wide range of talks, walks and activities to compliment the beautiful surroundings.
