Willow Weaving by Windrush Willow
We are thrilled to welcome Windrush Willow to our Marquee Lawn this summer!
Treat your Dad to the day he deserves at Hestercombe.
If you're planning to visit between Monday 9th September and Friday 13th September, please be aware that there is a diversion in place to get to the main entrance. This is due to Wessex Water works taking place and closing the road along Pitchers Hill in Cheddon Fitzpaine. To see where the road closure is and the diversion, please click here. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
This event has ended
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.
