Garner Hall is a stately home, located at the northern most part of Greendale Village. This is where Major Forbes lives.
In Season 2, the Major opened the house to the public.
Description[]
The Hall is a large stately home that is guarded by a roundabout at its entrance. The interior features a corridor leading up to the second floor. Many of the rooms contain all the needs for the Major, such as a room dedicated to his toy soldier collection, hallways and many more of the Major’s needs.

Trivia[]
- Although the Major has never appeared in the television series since the second series (except for Postman Pat The Movie), Garner Hall was still visible in the aerial scenes of Greendale from Series 3 to 5.
- In Series 3-5, the gates of Garner Hall were used in front of another house.
- Pat's umbrella from Postman Pat's Rainy Day, Elsie Timms' suitcase from Postman Pat takes a Message and one of the grandfather clocks from the "Gran" episode "Grandmother Clock" can be seen inside the hall.
- From Series 6 onwards, it cannot be seen amongst the generic housing in aerial scenes of Greendale.
- After Woodland Animations Ltd was sold to Entertainment Rights, the suit of armor's model was brought to Cosgrove Hall Films along with the rest of the Woodland Animations models and puppets from Postman Pat. It was not used in any of the episodes animated by Cosgrove Hall Films, and remained on the shelves in one of the workshops until the studio closed down in 2009. It is owned by the Cosgrove Hall Archive.
