Weston Park  6th & 7th May 2012 10am - 5pm

Entry to fair and gardens £2.50

Weston Park welcomes Plant Hunters' Fairs back for the Early May Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday 2012. 

Weston is an award winning stately home set in 1000 acres of "Capability" Brown parkland much of it wooded and planted with spring bulbs, bluebells, azaleas and rhododendrons. By the house there is an Italian Parterre and formal gardens. 

The fair will be held on the Stables Lawn in front of the house making a stunning backdrop to the day with the Stables Coffee Bar close on hand.

For this special event, Weston Park are offering a really great value entrance price of just £2.50 (per person) for the fair, gardens and parkland. There is also a great adventure playground for children plus a selection of outdoor games in the courtyard.  The miniature railway will also be running (additional charge) and there will be a small display of steam engines in the park.

The House will be open to the public (separate charge). Visitors to the fair can shop for locally produced food and drink in the Farm Shop, enjoy lunch in the Granary Grill, Bar & Restaurant or view the latest exhibition in the Art Gallery.  (see www.granarygrill.com  for details).
