Built during the First World War as a luxury family home in the style of a French chateau, Radbroke Hall has been at the centre of Barclays technological innovation since the 1970s.

Radbroke is participating in England's largest festival of history and culture - Heritage Open Days.

With its imposing ionic pillars, white Portland stone frontage and carefully clipped lawns, Grade II listed Radbroke Hall cuts a striking figure in the Cheshire countryside.

Built as a family home in 1917 and bought by Barclays in 1972, the white chateau-style building outside Knutsford has been the centrepiece of the bank’s 64-acre ‘Innovation Campus’ – and the development site for ground breaking technological advances – for over 50 years.

We're opening the doors to the Main Hall to visitors and sharing details of the history of the site with a visit from Barclays archivist. Join us as we delve into Radbroke's rich history both as a Technology Centre and as a statley home for Radbroke Hall's original owners, Claude and Olga Hardy.

Once you've discovered the vast history of Radbroke Hall, you're invited to the Rose Garden weather permitting for a very special Radbroke Cream Tea.
