Sculpture Tour
The garden is a very welcoming place to investigate the forms and materials of sculpture in the open air, with space to explore and discuss the works of art. The sculptures in the garden are firm favourites with families. Ask about our changing programme of exhibitions of monumental sculpture by internationally renowned artists, or discover the pieces that will stay throughout the seasons.

Hands on in the Kitchen Garden
The kitchen garden is a beautiful working environment, supplying food and flowers for the family and businesses on the Estate. Explore the kitchen garden and private greenhouses with a garden guide, then have a go at gardening in hands-on activities which will change to suit the seasons.
