Welcome by prior arrangement. Map

Groups are most welcome to the Manor House Gardens by prior arrangement. The minimum group size is 15 people weekdays or 25 people weekends.

Each group will have exclusive access to the garden so that Kathy can give each group special attention. This means group visits are not generally available Tuesday afternoons, which are my regular ‘public open afternoons’.

Booking and Fees

You can choose morning, afternoon or evening bookings.

Entrance to the garden £12 per person.

In the first instance, please contact me to choose a date to suit you.

There is ample parking onsite for cars

Coach groups are also welcome. However, when visiting, please note the additional guidance for Coaches.

For each group visit, Kathy will give a PERSONAL INTRODUCTION to the garden, free of charge.

A range of gifts are also available from the Shop including Kathy’s books; ‘The Edible Flower Garden’ and ‘Container Gardening‘, which Kathy will gladly sign. Recently a Guide Book to the garden has also been published £5. All these books make lovely presents. Kathy’s cake recipe cards and garden cards as well as special china mugs are also available.

Additionally, to make your visit even more enjoyable various optional extras can also be pre-booked.

Optional Extras

GUIDED TOUR:  lasting about 45-60 minutes. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the making of the garden, the design elements and the stories behind the plants. Informative but fun as well. For large groups, we simply split so that Simon and Kathy can take two tours, at the same time. There will be an extra charge of £2.50 per person. Please book in advance.

REFRESHMENTS:
AFTERNOON TEA with a choice of tea or coffee plus a delicious slice of Kathy’s homemade cake which might include her special rose petal cake, raspberry and elderflower, lavender lemon drizzle, apricot and lavender, ginger and honey cake or any other, depending on the season. Gluten-free options are available.
For this, there will be an extra charge of £7 per person. Please book in advance.

Prices: Entrance £12 + Tour £2.50 + Tea & Cake £7 = £21.50 per person
