Willow Weaving by Windrush Willow
We are thrilled to welcome Windrush Willow to our Marquee Lawn this summer!
Join us for a picnic on our marquee lawn to celebrate the King's Coronation.
If you're planning to visit between Monday 9th September and Friday 13th September, please be aware that there is a diversion in place to get to the main entrance. This is due to Wessex Water works taking place and closing the road along Pitchers Hill in Cheddon Fitzpaine. To see where the road closure is and the diversion, please click here. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
This event has ended
To celebrate the King's Coronation, on Monday 8th May, we will be opening our marquee lawn for visitors to bring their own food and drink, picnic chairs and blankets.
For those who prefer to eat out, our Caffè + Gelato will be open as usual and selling traditional tea and cake.
There will also be fun lawn games available for the whole family to enjoy and crown decorating between 12-2pm.
There is no garden pay barrier to access the marquee lawn, Caffè + Gelato or the Stables Restaurant, however, if you would like to visit the gardens, you will need to pay standard garden admission.
