Come and visit our Gift Shop and Plant Centre by the Courtyard.
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
The Bookshop has moved to a new location in the Visitor's Centre, next to the ticket office, plant sales and restaurant. You no longer need to pay garden admission to shop!
A book lover’s paradise, the Secondhand Bookshop lends itself to some serious browsing. With a wide selection of categories available covering gardening, travel, fiction, children’s, cookery, specialist titles and more, there’s something for everyone.
The Book Shop is stocked by book donations and run by a fantastic team of volunteers, meaning all proceeds raised go directly to the Hestercombe Gardens Trust. These proceeds help us to continue with the maintenance, restoration and development of Hestercombe.
When making a donation, please bring your books in bags which you are happy to not be returned. Unfortunately, we can't accept dictionaries, encyclopedias, Reader's Digest, or books that are in dirty or very poor condition. We are incredibly grateful for your support but please follow these guidelines so that everything you donate really does help!
