A charming Georgian mansion filled with an astonishing collection of historic keyboard instruments, fine furniture and paintings, all set in 400 acres of stunning Repton parkland. House rules: ​

We want our page to be a place where people can share how they feel about the National Trust and talk about their experiences in a fun environment. These house rules aim to ensure everyone can enjoy themselves while they’re here: ​

We ask you to be nice and polite to one another – you almost always are! - and respect each other’s views and comments. We ask all users to ensure your contributions are civil, polite, tasteful and suitable for all ages. We won't tolerate disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour, unlawful or objectionable content. This includes any material which might be defamatory, offensive, infringing, obscene, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, blasphemous, indecent or otherwise unlawful or objectionable. It also includes any material which is aggressive, argumentative or likely to be construed as bullying, and it includes spamming or repetition - in particular the posting of off-topic material in subject-specific threads or areas. ​
​
*Moderation policy* ​
In general, we don’t moderate posts, except on the rare occasions - for example where someone has posted offensive, threatening or libellous content about named or identifiable individuals on our page. We have a duty to protect our staff and volunteers, so while deleting comments is totally out of character for us, our position is that any post containing a libellous accusations, should be removed. We’ll also remove any posts that in any way target individual teams or members of staff. We will not comment on our staff and volunteers in this way in public forums. If any correspondent has feedback to share about any individual members of staff or teams in the organisation, please get in touch with us directly. If an individual continues to post offensive, threatening or libellous content then we’ll be forced to block that person from the page. Similarly, if any individual repeatedly posts contributions of the nature noted above in the 'material' list, we'll again be forced to block that individual from the page (in this scenario, we will have previously warned the individual about their content).​

We won’t tolerate postings, content, or links that are racist, sexist or homophobic. We also don’t permit linking to or posting any content which endorses illegal activity, or any activities against the values of the National Trust. ​
If you’re concerned that a posting or user content has broken any of our house rules or you’re worried about any comment or content then please send us an email to [generic email address] and let us know. ​

Finally, please note that the views on our page are created by our community and don’t necessarily represent the views or opinions of National Trust. ​

Everyone has heard of a cream tea, but did you know you can get a savoury tea? Pop into the café at Hatchlands Park this half term and give it a go - you still get your choice of hot drink alongside a cheese scone, grated cheese and red onion marmalade. 🧀

Something spooky is happening inside the house at Hatchlands Park this half term holiday. 🕸

Peek inside to see the ground-floor showrooms decorated for Halloween. Dare you enter? The fearsomely fantastic decorations will be on display throughout half term until Sunday 1 November on days when the house is open (closed 24 and 31 October), 12 noon to 4pm. 👻

Due to ongoing path works, there is currently no step-free access to the house – please ask at Visitor Reception for any help or advice you may require during your visit.

In preparation for the clocks changing tonight, the conservation team have been busy winding the clocks. This particular clock is probably from between 1710 and 1720, and features a walnut case and silvered engraved dial. Don’t forgot to change yours 🕰️

⚠️Path now closed until Friday 30 October⚠️

UPDATE: To fix the impassable flooding of the garden path outside the house during heavy rainfall, the Hatchlands Park team has been installing new drains on the path. Between Monday 12 October and Friday 30 October, the path will be completely closed to allow them to complete these essential drainage works and resurfacing of the path.

This will mean a more accessible path upon completion, with much reduced risk of flooding. Please note that there is no step-free route to access the house during this time.

Please speak to Visitor Reception for more information.
