A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in – what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars

Events in the garden

 

About our events

 

Over the years, we’ve hosted all sorts of events in the garden, including concerts, gardening workshops, art workshops and aromatherapy sessions.  We have a big focus on wellbeing, making good use of our swimming pond with year round opportunities for a dip.

Our experience events are led by experienced facilitators who we know and trust, and almost every event includes some form of homemade cake and herbal tea.  

Our programme for 2026 includes a flower drawing workshop, the popular monthly Stretch & Swim, Yoga & Swim mini-retreats and three outdoor sound baths.

National Garden Scheme Open Days

 

Each year, we open under the National Garden Scheme and generally welcome hundreds of visitors to the garden.

On NGS days, we open a pop-up tea-room selling delicious homemade cakes, scones, savoury snacks and teas between 10am and 4pm (gluten free and vegan options are available). We also have a stall selling indoor and outdoor plants, home grown produce and preserves, local honey, fresh bread and our Breathe4Good wellbeing products

Our 2026 NGS day is on Sunday 7 June

Tickets, priced at £10 each (children free), are available from the National Garden Scheme website


Small group openings

 

We’re happy to be opening the garden again in 2026 to small groups, but we’ve reached capacity for group visits this year. Please contact us if you’d like to sign up to be notified about group visits in 2027

We’re hosting an open afternoon on Wednesday 27 May from 1.30pm-4.30pm. We invite guests to bring along a picnic or to plan a visit our kitchen tea room for tea and cake.
