The Tollemache family, enjoy sharing their passion for the beautiful gardens and open them for two afternoons a week

Opening Times - 4th May to 14 September 2008
(opening times on event days may vary)
Sunday and Wednesday afternoons and Bank Holiday Mondays 26 May and 25 September 2:00pm - 6:00pm

A visit to the gardens makes a perfect day out for everyone. There is a relaxed atmosphere for visitors to enjoy the serenity and tranquillity of the gardens, to loose themselves in the plethora of colour, scents and history. It is recommended to allow 2 hours to visit the gardens however most people stay much longer taking the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch or a cream tea in the Coach House and to visit the gift shop, produce and plant stall.
