Summer Late Openings at Hestercombe have finished for 2021 ~ we hope you enjoyed the gardens, food and entertainment this summer! Watch out for our 2022 late openings which will be announced in spring 2022.

Hestercombe's beautiful summer gardens will be open until 8pm on Wednesday evenings until September!

Enjoy the 50 acres of historic gardens after hours, and see the landscape in a unique way as we leave them open towards dusk - perfect for an after-work or school visit to relax. The café will be open each night, serving sandwiches, cake, gelato and drinks, which can be enjoyed whilst being serenaded by talented musicians throughout the evening.

You no longer need to pre-book timed admission to a Summer Late Opening, just turn up from 5pm - 7pm.
