A great experience in the locality of Birmingham - beautiful building and great team working there, needs to open a cafe - especially on a hot day! It is like being in a country estate out of town - perfect!

Plenty of parking, tickets are only £10 and if you go earlier in the day there is no queue at all. Interesting to step into the lives of the wealthy back in 1600s. The architecture and grandeur for that time leaves a person in awe. The gardens were not that great but if you read the history it is because they were damaged in the war and left incomplete.

Aston Hall was our wedding venue. It's a fantastic building, full of character and wonderful spaces. While booking was a bit of a faff, the staff on the day were excellent and did everything to make the event run smoothly while still being great fun, including accommodating a harpist and two bands. We had canapes on site that were also superb. If you're looking for somewhere a little different, Aston Hall is highly recommended.

It's hard to believe this beautiful, serene place is only an eight minute train ride from Birmingham New Street. Its a great historical building; each of the rooms look stunning and the gardens are well cultivated and maintained. I was here on a hot summer Saturday afternoon (the last weekend of June)., and was surprised it wasn't very busy. Yes, there were other visitors around, but it never felt crowded. Maybe the £10 admission fee is off-putting to some? The visit here was definitely worthwhile and felt like a tranquil oasis from the crowded Birmingham city centre. The volunteers are very knowledgably of the building's history and the gardens are a great place to relax after touring the rooms withing the grand hall.
