Lotherton is a handsome Edwardian estate with extensive grounds, beautiful gardens and Red Deer Park.
The hall was the former home of the Gascoignes from 1825 until it was gifted to the City of Leeds in 1968. The estate boasts two adventure playgrounds and its own zoo, Wildlife World, which includes animals from across the globe. New for 2020 is the Nocturnal Zone, featuring a number of new species for visitors to discover. Across the eight acres, Lotherton is also home to a herd of majestic red deer which can be viewed from the deer hide. An exciting programme of events and activities run throughout the year and a membership package is available for regular visitors to take advantage of. The estate also has a café which serves a changing menu of hot and cold options and an outdoor seating area with adjoining kiosk for ice cream and cold drinks.
