The gardens are perfect for picnics, you can bring your own picnic or pick up something from our café. You are welcome to set up on one of our many lawns, but we do also have benches dotted around the site too for your convenience.
Please take your rubbish home or recycle it, if you can. This also helps the charity to reduce the costs of disposal.
Dogs are welcome at the gardens, please keep them on a short leash throughout your stay.
Toilets are available near the entrance to the Gardens. Male and Female toilets have a small step at the entrance. A wheelchair accessible toilet in the same block, has a level entrance.
At the other end of the Gardens – by the Batty Langley vegetable plot- there are 2 compost toilets; one which has reasonable wheelchair/buggy access and has a urinal too.
Our main toilets, as with many of our working buildings, were installed over 30 years ago when the Gardens were being rescued. They are badly in need of an upgrade. The Trust is a the start of a long road of planning and fundraising to transform all our public and office spaces…Thank you for supporting us get to that stage by visiting the Gardens.
