Gardens Re-opening
From the 29th March, we will be re-opening the gardens, and could’t be more excited to be sharing the sights and sounds of Spring with you. If all goes to plan with the Government’s Covid recovery road map and our interpretation of how the regulations apply, we hope to be opening the coffee shop in April and the house at some point in May.
As you’ll appreciate, this is a changing situation and we are following Government advice. Please ensure you check the website for any updates before you visit the gardens.
Thank you for your continued support at this challenging time.

We’ll continue to share updates on the website. In the meanwhile, please join us on instagram and Facebook for seasonal postcards from the garden.
