Hestercombe is an independent charity: your visit helps us to maintain, restore and develop Hestercombe for future generations
From Thursday 24th April the Stables Restaurant will be closed while refurbishment work takes place. The Gardens, House, book shop and plant sales are open daily as usual. Self serve tea and coffee is available in the courtyard.
Apologies for the inconvenience this will cause but something exciting is on the way... from the 1st of May, under new ownership, 'The Stables Hospitality' will open 7 days a week. For all enquiries please see www.thestableshospitality.com
Hestercombe is now a fully cashless venue - only payments by debit or credit card, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted.
As an independent charity, this helps us to save on costs associated with handling cash, such as security, counting, and processing fees, allowing us to allocate more funds directly to our mission.
A guide map showing all accessible routes around the gardens is available from our Ticket Office, and you can also download the guide map (PDF).
