Emperor Fountain goes sky high

As a special bank holiday and half term treat, we will be doubling the height of the famous gravity-fed Emperor Fountain in the garden on the following days, at 1.30pm and 3.30 pm:

26 May to 3 June - 1.30pm & 3.30pm

This is a very rare chance to see the fountain, for many decades the tallest gravity-fed fountain in the world, on so high. On the same days, at 3pm, extra water jets in the ground around the Willow Tree fountain will be put on for a few minutes, giving any unsuspecting visitors a cooling surprise.
