Young people’s interest in wildlife (or even in Harry Potter) just grows and grows.

Now, your young enthusiast has the opportunity to get close to these wonderful creatures and to learn how to hold them safely on the hand (with a glove on, obviously!)

Our adult Falconry and Owl sessions have a great following here in the Gardens and now Tora’s Falconry can offer small groups their own hands-on experience during the school holidays.

These sessions are suitable for almost any age, but we suggest at least 5 years or over . (NB The 90 minute sessions do have a break, but it is still the length of two school lessons!)

Each child ticket INCLUDES a place for ONE accompanying adult.

Children must be accompanied.

You can buy one additional adult ticket(maximum 2 adults per child) – click on AddOns, after you have bought your main ticket.

Main ticket: Child (with adult) £20

Extra adult : £8 All tickets give you access to the Gardens for the whole day, so take your opportunity to explore the Gardens and join in with the Medieval Summer trail… (included in the ticket!)

A bit like pantomime, ‘Mummers’ plays are gentle knock about folk plays tradtionally played at christmas, new year and easter.

Brummagem Mummers are thrilled to make their return to the Gardens to bring their own take on mumming, in this short Easter themed play that is suitable for all ages.

Free performances (about 20mins) in the Courtyard at 12 and 1.30 ish …

Robin Hood and Little John battle with Fred the Fly Tipper, who not only is dumping rubbish all over our countryside but is now trying to steal the King’s deer from Sherwood Forest.  

Join Brummagem Morris in their off-beat, hysterical, modern, interpretation of a traditional mummers play.  

Cringe at the terrible gags. 

Meet Dobbin the horse and Jolly Jack the sailor (what’s he doing in Sherwood?)  

See what wonderous cures the Doctor can pull out of his bag to resuscitate the fallen characters.

Laugh at the terrible rhyming poetry and groan at the awful puns. 

Fun for all the family.

Over the Easter weekend (Saturday and Sunday) , John Pickering and his Regiment of Foote take up residence in the Gardens. Wander among the Parliamentary troops and their followers as they prepare for battle at Curdworth Bridge, near Water Orton. Get into conversation with those who cooked the meals and sewed the cloth…

Let your imagination float back centuries to the sound and smell of muskets and campfire smoke… Drills, musket practise and musters happen throughout the day. Family Friendly (with some loud noises)

This is a  much-needed fundraising event for the Gardens so your support and generosity at the entrance gate will be much appreciated.

No need to  Book... Normal Entry Fees apply

All tickets and donations go to support the long term work for the Trust, preserving and sharing the 18th century Gardens and Parkland

The success of the 2025 event has led us to schedule it once more.

As the last vestiges of Winter are beaten back by the arrival of Summer, we welcome warmer, sunnier and altogether more colourful days. Join us for all the madness of May, Beorma Morris and the Wild Man of the Wood…

Merry Crafts

If you don’t quite have the chance to bring your own floral outfit, then we have you sorted. In our Melon Ground, from 11:30, our wonderful volunteers will be showing you how to make and decorate your own willow crowns. Ideal for any Merry May event, they will be the perfect headwear for the day’s happenings. Donations welcome.

Merry Morris, the Green Man and the May Monarch

When you’ve had the chance to make your crowns, Beorma will strike up at 14:00 with their Border dances to entertain you all. Then the Wild Man of the Wood will then introduce the folklore of May and its merry connotations, before we gather for our Coronation procession onto the Archery Lawn. Here, our chosen May Monarch will be crowned, and the last of Winter chased away in true Border Morris fashion.

It’s a chance to indulge in a bit of Merrie Old England, and welcome in the Summer, all in the Merry Month of May!

Come dressed in white and florals, with head-dresses and all manner of folky accoutrements, and you might just be chosen to be crowned as our May Monarch!

Entry fees apply. Free for Annual Pass holders.

Do support us by purchasing from our café and our shop.
