Entry to fair and gardens £2.50

We were bowled over when we visited Hodnet Hall Gardens to arrange this new fair for 2011 -so were all the plant lovers who braved the rain and were rewarded with stunning, immaculate gardens and a great array of quality plants. 

This year we have expanded the event to two days to make the event even more enjoyable for all concerned. 

There are 63 acres of gardens with grand vistas, intimate, secluded areas, a walled garden, magnificent lakes; the glorious setting is almost beyond description!

There have been gardens at Hodnet since the 11th century when the Heber-Percy family constructed their first house in the parkland. Their serious development began in 1921 by the late Brigadier Heber-Percy and today, the 60+ acres are renowned as amongst the finest in the country. Forest trees provide a wonderful backdrop for formal gardens planted to give delight during every season, woodland walks amongst flowering shrubs and a daisy chain of ornamental pools.

Special Event Price: £2.50 for gardens and fair.

Visitors can explore the gardens, meet top nurserymen and women and enjoy light refreshments in the picturesque restaurant.

What more could you want on an early summer's day? 

Disabled visitors are very welcome – approximately 60 percent of the gardens are accessible to wheelchairs but please note the paths are mainly grass or gravel and therefore more accessible in dry conditions.

Dogs are welcome on leads.

Restaurant open for lunches & teas.
