Group bookings / Garden tours

Guided Tours are available, by prior booking, for groups who wish to visit the garden. The garden tours begin with an introductory talk. Light refreshments, if requested, are available, or alternatively visitors are welcome to bring a picnic. Tours take approximately 1.5 hours (2hrs with refreshments), however, it is strongly recommended that you allow longer than this for your visit. After the tour visitors are then free to spend further time in the garden if they wish. Special interest groups, for example art groups, are welcome.

Disabled Facilities

Full wheelchair access is available throughout the garden, mainly along Bredon gravel paths. Assistance is often available for visitors in wheelchairs but must be arranged in advance. Disabled parking is available outside the garden entrance, follow the signs from the Cleveland Way. Disabled toilet facilities are located in the Vinery.
