Astley Hall, Coach House and Park

Astley Hall, Coach House and Park is a beautiful attraction located next to Chorley town centre offering a great day out for all.

Within the grounds you will find Astley Hall, a breath-taking 16th century Grade I historic house, the modernised Coach House which includes the Coach House Gallery and Café Ambio, the Farmhouse, including Barrica in the Park, the scenic Walled Garden, acres of stunning parkland and an array of sports pitches and fantastic play areas.
 

***To enable set up and break down of the Chorley Flower Show, some areas of Astley Park will be restricted from Tuesday 21 July to Friday 7 August, however the Coach House including Café Ambio, Barrica in the Park and the Astley Hall Gift Shop and Information Centre will all remain open (as per their usual opening hours). Astley Hall will be closed from Monday 20th July until the start of Chorley Flower Show.

A diversion route will be in place so that you can still get from one end of the park to the other but please allow additional time.

During Chorley Flower Show, 31 July, 1 and 2 August, Astley Hall and the businesses in the Coach House and Farm House will only be open to those with a ticket for the show. Entry to Astley Hall is included in the Chorley Flower Show ticket price.
The diversion route around the park will still be in place for those wanting to walk through or access the areas not within the event.
