Bramall Hall has been awarded £1 million in government funding to support vital upgrades to the Grade I listed heritage site, helping to protect one of Stockport’s most treasured historic buildings for future generations.
The funding has been awarded through the Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) as part of the government’s wider Arts Everywhere Fund, a major national investment designed to protect and improve cultural venues, museums, libraries and heritage buildings across England.
The investment will help ensure the long‑term protection of the historic building while allowing residents, school groups and visitors from Stockport and beyond to continue exploring its rich history and heritage.
This latest government funding is in addition to the £1.6m that was awarded to Bramall Hall in 2024 to help fix long-term issues with its roof.
Cllr Dan Oliver, the Cabinet Member responsible for culture:
“Bramall Hall is one of Stockport’s most important and much‑loved historic landmarks, and this funding is a big boost in helping us protect and enhance it for future generations.
“The funding will support vital upgrades to this nationally significant building, helping to protect its historic fabric while improving access for visitors, families and school groups.
“We’re proud to see Bramall Hall recognised as a place of national cultural importance and to continue welcoming people from Stockport and beyond to explore its history.”
Bramall Hall is also hosting a behind-the-scenes insight into the roof restoration on Sunday 28 June from 11am to 4pm. Visitors can explore traditional crafts, conservation techniques, and the expertise required to safeguard a Grade I listed historic building. Visitors can enjoy tours and hands on activities. The event is free and suitable for all ages.
