Sunday Afternoons of Live Music in the Garden

Our much-loved Music in the Garden events return on selected Sunday afternoons this summer, bringing the perfect soundtrack to a relaxing family day out.

Settle into the stunning surroundings of our Azalea Ring, where live music fills the air – just bring a picnic, blanket, or deck chair and soak in the atmosphere. Don’t forget your sun umbrella for a little shade!

The Summerhouse Café will be serving freshly-baked treats and refreshments, while well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join in the fun.
