Wahoo! We’re opening again 🤩

Our gardens and children’s play area will be opening on the 13th March in time for Mother’s Day.

There is no need to book, simply turn up and immerse yourself in the beautiful views, fill your lungs with fresh air, enjoy the signs of spring, explore our vast acres of parkland…or simply climb, swing and slide yourself around the play area.

Take away drinks, lunch and treats will also be available.

We're really looking forward to seeing you all again very soon 😘
