We are thrilled to hear that we have received funding from the government’s #CultureRecoveryFund! This will mean that the Gardens Trust will have a level of financial security through the winter to enable us to continue to look after the Gardens and make them open for the pleasure, leisure, health and wellbeing of all our…
In these troubled times the unconscious and conscious connections we make with each other and the urge to help each other out is a real and heartwarming positive. Visits to the Gardens truly do seem to be providing people with the healing moments we all need. Over the last few months children, whether or not…
As we beckon in a ‘new normal’ at Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, we have taken many moments to be grateful for our ample open spaces that have allowed us the opportunity to keep all our visitors and staff safe. It has been wonderful to slowly welcome people back into the Gardens to enjoy the air,…
At last, like some large furry dog coming out of a lake we shake ourselves off after months of uncertainty and get to some planning. In this case particularly for evenings. As a lot of our musical friends are desperately missing somewhere to play, we thought it would be nice for them, and us, if we…
We are also proud to announce an extra treat for Members: Friday evening late openings.

The perfect takeaway food for a socially distanced Garden experience… Last year’s popular Cream Tea in a carry out box is set to return to the Garden in the next week. Scrumptious locally made scones, oodles of proper Cornish cream and berry jams all ready for you to collect at our Orangery shop and take…
Just had to share this excellent article from our Organic Gardening friends over at Ryton on Dunsmore. As the national organisations spearheading organic and pesticide free vegetable growing, we’ve always had a lot in common. All the flowers they mention here, as edible, are plants we grow in our Gardens in Castle Bromwich. We try…

Today 2 families chose the Gardens as a halfway house meeting place to see their grandparents/parents/children/grandchildren for the first time since lockdown. One family came from west and east to meet here, another from north and south.…
