We are a charity and suggest a donation of £5 per adult on entry.
We have a cash-only cafe serving delicious homemade cakes, salads & drinks.
We have a strict policy of no dogs, picnics and ball games within the sculpture gardens.
Visitors may have picnics in the field adjoining the car park.
We look forward to welcoming you.
