About This Event

An event titled ''From Venice to Cheshire: The Grand Tour Story behind Tatton's Library'' will be held at Tatton Park on 2026-09-23. It will explore how rare books reached Tatton Park.

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.
