Guided Tours and Garden Highlights

Visitors will have the chance to see the newly installed bee hives and enjoy an abundance of colourful, scented roses, vibrant poppies, and fragrant herbs within the medicinal garden.
Visitors can purchase delicious food from the BBQ and refreshments in the conservatory cafe including coffee, cakes, and a selection of paninis. The event will also mark the launch of Merriments Gin, crafted using botanicals sourced from the gardens.
Families are welcome to participate in the Kids Hunt 'find the word' for a chance to win a prize. There will also be a free prize draw to win tea and cake in the café, a Sunday roast for two, and an annual garden ticket.
Season tickets can be purchased from the café, offering free entry to the gardens throughout the year. Prices are £35 for a single ticket and £55 for a joint ticket. On the open day there will be £5 off all season tickets purchased on the day.
