You really helped capture the day perfectly from the traditional Chinese door games to the Polish vodka shots during the speeches.

Thornton Manor is a large manor house in the village of Thornton Hough, Wirral, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

In 1888, Thornton Manor became the home of William Lever. The world’s greatest philanthropic industrialist. In the same year, Lever began construction of Port Sunlight factory and village for his workers. Arguably the finest surviving example of early urban planning in the world.  

During his lifetime he achieved world wide recognition but after his death he became almost unknown.  After the death of the 3rd Viscount Leverhulme in the year 2000. The Manor House and nearly all other buildings on the estate became empty. Along with the historic gardens, they  fell further into disrepair.

The present custodians have undertaken a huge ongoing restoration and maintenance project which commenced in 2005.  For the first time in its history, the house and grounds were made available for hire to the public for events. So far, almost all profits from events in the house and marquees in the grounds have been spent on ongoing restoration, maintenance and improvement.  By holding your event at Thornton Manor, you will be helping to preserve this historic site for future generations.
