Sherdley Park

Sherdley Park

Sherdley Park in the district of Sutton is the largest park in St Helens, Merseyside. Its 200 acres include an 18 hole golf course, a formal garden, open woodland, a lake, pets' corner and summer events. It is well known in the local area for hosting the Sherdley Show, a large annual three day event attended by up to 500,000 people.

Originally owned by the family of 19th century coal and copper baron, Colonel Michael Hughes, it was purchased by the local authority after the second world war as a place of relaxation for the citizens of Sutton.
