About this audio guide
This guide to Heaton Hall in Manchester's Heaton Park follows a house James Wyatt designed around the business of eating, from the kitchen pavilion at the end of its colonnade to a dining room watched over by priestesses of Bacchus. You'll hear how the Egertons fed a whole district when their heir came of age, and what became of the house when the family sold up in nineteen oh two. Best heard on the lawn facing the long south front.
