Design for Life: Art and Architecture - Part 1
New international exhibition featuring work from Le Corbusier to the present day
This event is fully booked
Claire will share insight in to the current growing season, highlights of both the formal and landscape gardens as well as upcoming developments at Hestercombe.
This event will begin with a short introduction from Claire, after which she will accompany a small group on a private walk around the gardens. A cream tea will be served in Stables Restaurant after the walk ends.
Garden entry is included in the cost of your ticket, as is a cream tea for one (including one scone and a tea or coffee).
The walk will follow an accessible route through the gardens, but please wear clothing suited to the weather and for a garden walk. Find out more about accessibility in our gardens here.
