Had a trip to Trentham Gardens yesterday, mainly to do the Snoopy Trail which is on until the early May bank holiday. I still can't be bothered to work out how to do photos here so have a link instead:
https://trentham.co.uk/events/snoopy-trail/
It's a very pretty place - not too expensive to get in, £25 for Chimp and me, and we spent about 3 hours wandering around the lake, looking at the gardens and finding the 12 Snoopy statues around the place.
The tea rooms were very nice but quite pricey - £40 for 2 ciabatta & chips plus large fizzy drinks - no MAP discount here sadly
After we'd found all the Snoopies (Snoopys/Snoopi?) and had our fill of wandering the various gardens (and seeing a "history of" sign which showed John Broome bought the place but failed to do anything with it), I gave the Chimp a choice - visit the attached shopping village to spend birthday money, or Towers. She chose Towers so we went there (takes about 30 minutes) and managed more rides in 2.5 hours than we did on opening day.
Would definitely do the gardens again for another event, but hopefully on a day Towers is open longer so we can spend a bit more time in both.

I believe major subsidence caused issues in the 70s causing him to look elsewhere to build.
