Historic Tabley House accepts the Knutsford voucher

One of Knutsford’s premier heritage sites, Tabley House, has officially joined the Knutsford Voucher scheme, further strengthening the town’s successful local spending initiative.

Tabley House, the former seat of the Leicester family, houses a world-class collection of art, furniture, and memorabilia. Visitors can now use the town voucher to explore the historic state rooms and visit the 17th-century St Peter’s Chapel.

The announcement coincides with the launch of the 2026 season, which features a new exhibition exploring the life of Sir John Fleming Leicester. The displays showcase Sir John’s own artistic sketches and works created during his prestigious Grand Tour of Europe as a young man.

Gill Dent, Collections Manager for Tabley House Collection said, "We are absolutely delighted to join the Knutsford Town Voucher scheme. As a venue that has been a part of this community’s history for generations, we understand the importance of keeping our local economy thriving and connected. By accepting these vouchers, we’re making it even easier for residents and visitors to enjoy everything Tabley House has to offer, from guided tours to the special events we host throughout the year. It’s a wonderful initiative that truly captures the spirit of Knutsford, and we look forward to welcoming more local voucher holders through our doors very soon."

Launched in 2020, the voucher scheme has grown to include nearly 60 participating businesses. It offers a "shop local" alternative to major gift cards, ensuring that 100% of the value remains within the Knutsford economy. Sandra Curties, Town Centre Manager for Knutsford Town Council, noted the programme's impressive growth, "When we launched in 2020, we couldn't have predicted just how much the community would embrace it. Today, the voucher (complete with a gift card) is a wonderful gift for all ages. It’s a point of pride that you can now use it for everything from a traditional Italian dinner, tapas, toys and now the beautiful Tabley House”.

Vouchers can be purchased via the Discover Knutsford website or in person at the Town Council offices. Each voucher comes with a gift card, and 100% of the value goes directly back to the local business.
