To celebrate the King's Coronation, on Monday 8th May, we will be opening our marquee lawn for visitors to bring their own food and drink, picnic chairs and blankets.
For those who prefer to eat out, our Caffè + Gelato will be open as usual and selling traditional tea and cake.
There will also be fun lawn games available for the whole family to enjoy and crown decorating between 12-2pm.
There is no garden pay barrier to access the marquee lawn, Caffè + Gelato or the Stables Restaurant, however, if you would like to visit the gardens, you will need to pay standard garden admission.
