The trees here at Knowsley Hall are always the first to hint that our glorious summer days are almost drawing to a close, and that Autumn is just around the corner. Just like the trees, it has been all-change here at Knowsley, with some chapters ending and new ones beginning. For me, the change in seasons is always a great moment to reflect and to be excited for what lies ahead.

Summer has arrived in all its glory and we are basking in spectacular weather. There really is something wonderful about Britain in the summer months, especially in the park at Knowsley Hall. It’s the busiest time of the year for our Parks and Gardens team and they rise to the challenge year on year making our grounds look loved and cared for.

There is something truly magical about witnessing spring arrive at Knowsley Hall. The estate awakens from winter's embrace as blue skies stretch across our historic landscape. Our fields welcome new life as lamb season begins, their playful bounds a reminder of nature's beautiful cycle.
