Estate on the banks of the River Trent open for private group tours and venue for major outdoor events.
Catton in South Derbyshire is home to the glorious private estate of Catton Hall, owned by the same family since 1405. The present Hall was built in 1745 and stands on the banks of the River Trent. The house remains virtually unchanged as does its original collection of fine family and royal portraits plus 17th and 18th century Dutch and Italian paintings. There are family connections with Lord Byron, Napoleon and the Duke of Cumberland, George III’s brother.
Although Catton Hall is not open to the general public, private group tours can be arranged all year.
The 250 acres of parkland and Catton Hall itself has hosted regular events for over 25 years, ranging from seminars to celebrations, horse trials to rock concerts (including Bearded Theory Music Festival and Bloodstock Open Air), caravan rallies to game shooting.
Nearby places to visit include the National Memorial Arboretum, Rosliston Forestry Centre and National Forest Adventure Farm.
