Knowsley Hall, located in Merseyside, has been the ancestral home of the Stanley family, the Earls of Derby, since the 15th century. Since 1495, this historic house has been welcoming royalty and distinguished guests, offering an idyllic setting for luxury weddings, glamorous parties, charity balls, gala dinners, filming locations, and private stays. The estate’s origins date back to the 12th century when it was a modest hunting lodge. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a grand stately home, reflecting the power and influence of the Stanley family in British history.

In the late 18th century, James Stanley, the 10th Earl of Derby, transformed Knowsley Hall into a neoclassical masterpiece. The house features sumptuous interiors and extensive art collections, including portraits by Van Dyck and Stubbs. The surrounding parkland, designed by the renowned landscape architect Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, complements the hall’s grandeur with its sweeping vistas and serene lakes.

Knowsley Hall has hosted numerous royal visits, including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the 19th century. The estate remains a vibrant part of the local community, hosting events and weddings, and it continues to be a testament to the enduring legacy of the Stanley family.
