Open Wednesdays 2026
From 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).
The 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.
This 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.
Every 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.
Dogs on leads with well-behaved owners are welcome at the Walled Garden.
Entrance is £7.50 per adult £2.50 per child and under 2’s and carers are FREE.
Parking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays.
Pre-booking is not required.
