SUMMARY:Luton Hoo Estate Walled Garden Open Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Open Wednesdays 2026\nFrom the first Wednesday in May to the last in September we open the doors of the Walled Garden and welcome visitors to our unique Capability Brown designed walled garden and its unique service buildings. Entrance includes a fascinating tour of the walled garden and Supplementary tours\, including to the Victorian farm buildings and the tea and dairy house may also be available on the day (subject to availability).\nThe garden is best enjoyed at a snail’s pace\, entrance is for all day! Notice boards and displays are updated throughout the season allowing fascinating insight into the garden’s rich history.\nThis is our second year partnering with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS)\, and Historic Houses\, allowing free access to members throughout our open season. We are excited to welcome members to the garden\, service buildings\, displays and seasonal horticultural events (the ripening of the figs!) and know they will enjoy being part of the walled garden experience. Season tickets are available at the entrance kiosk offering incredible value for those wishing to visit the garden throughout the season.\nEvery effort has been made to make the garden accessible to as many visitors as possible. With that in mind we have recently finished resurfacing the area around the sundial making it far easier for wheeled access. However\, due to the age and rich history of the garden there are some areas that are not accessible by wheelchair. Please inform members of the Walled Garden Project at the entrance and every effort will be made to provide an alternative route\, provide commentary on the area\, or help with pushing if there are volunteers available. Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.\nDogs on leads with well-behaved owners are welcome at the Walled Garden. \nEntrance is £7.50 per adult £2.50 per child and under 2’s and carers are FREE. \nParking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays.\nPre-booking is not required.

SUMMARY:Luton Hoo Estate Walled Garden Welcomes the Handlebards for 'As You Like It'
DESCRIPTION:‘As You Like It’ – The Handlebards\nPedalling from venue to venue with all of their set\, props and costumes on the back of their bikes\, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.\nJoin the troupe at Luton Hoo Walled Garden for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’.\nWhat’s the play about? Well – Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee to the Forest of Arden\, where they bump into Rosalind’s love interest Orlando. However\, Rosalind is disguised as a young man. Cue some local Shepherds getting involved and the stage is set for a wild ride of wooing\, hilarious mistaken identity and the odd wrestling match.\nThis is an outdoor production\, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on\, a picnic to dig into\, and dress for the weather!\nPraise for previous HandleBards performances…\n★★★★★ – “Explodes with energy and is a genuine treat from start to finish.” – The Stage\n★★★★★ – “Five stars just don’t seem enough…” – The Sunderland Echo\nBUY YOUR TICKETS HERE\nNotes on Performance\n– Seating isn’t provided by the venue so please make sure to bring your own – chairs\, picnics\, blankets and any other low-backed accessories are welcome. \n– In case of rain\, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching\, so please wear these instead.\n– This is an outdoors performance and surfaces may be uneven outside the Conservatory in the Walled Garden – There is immediately adjacent disabled parking and arrangements can be made if you require closer seating of side access etc – if you have any access related questions ahead of the performance please get in touch!
