Bluebell Walk
Enjoy a walk around our woodland at Gotton Copse - which will be awash with tens of thousands of bluebells
Due to staff shortages in our catering team (congratulations to our Head Chef who has just gone on paternity leave), over the weekends of the 11th/12th and 18th/19th May we will be serving BBQ food only from outside our Stables Restaurant, as well as cakes, sandwiches and ice cream in our cafe. A limited menu will also be available from Monday to Friday over the next two weeks. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
This event has ended
This May half term enjoy a fun and informative hunt around historic Hestercombe House for all of the family.
Follow our friendly caterpillar around the historic rooms and galleries of Hestercombe House, piecing together clues and delving into some of Hestercombe's rich history to solve a puzzle. Claim your free prize at the end of the hunt in our fantastic second hand bookshop.
This trail has elements to suit young children, but also enough sleuthing to keep primary school age and even 'big kids' busy.
Please note that Hestercombe House will close at 5pm daily.
The Caterpillar Word Hunt is free, included once you have paid standard garden admission (Hestercombe members go free).
Admission tickets are available via the Hestercombe website.
Described as “one of the top twenty gardens to visit in the country”, Hestercombe is always beautiful throughout the year. Join today and enjoy unlimited access, with prices from £48 per year.
Give a Gift of Membership to friends and family and they too can enjoy all the benefits of membership.
