Design for Life: Art and Architecture - Part 1
New international exhibition featuring work from Le Corbusier to the present day
10:00am - 4:00pm | Cost: Standard Garden Admission
This Father's Day (Sunday 18th June), we have 4 model boats which will be available to captain on our picturesque Mill Pond between 10am and 4pm.
Standard garden admission is required and it will cost £1 to captain a model boat for 5 minutes, with half of the proceeds going to St Margaret's Hospice and half to Hestercombe Gardens Trust.
Why not make a day of it and treat dad to a delicious lunch in our Stables Restaurant, followed by a walk around our 50 acres of beautiful gardens?
Please note that Hestercombe is now a fully cashless venue, so only accept payment by card or contactless payments.
