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 February enjoy a trail to explore art based on nature and the land and help us to create living art pieces around our beautiful gardens and gallery. A fun, and activity-packed family day out and exploration of Land Art, the subject of our Expanding Landscapes exhibition.
Weave sticks, leaves and other natural materials into a tapestry built by you and other trail-goers. Help us to create a colour swatch of materials, and stack leaves to create a beautiful piece of living art. Carefully add your own part to our home-made sculpture and enjoy walking through our meadow labyrinth, with a surprise when viewed from above.
We end up in Hestercombe House where you play your part in building our very own piece of land art for the gallery.
Please note that Hestercombe House will close at 4pm daily.
The I Heart Nature trail is completely free, included with standard gardens 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.
