Wrest Park

It is with regret that due to the high winds this weekend (Sat 7 and Sun 8 December), we cannot open the grounds at Wrest Park and have had to cancel tickets for those booked onto the Narnia experience. Those with a booking will be automatically refunded within 10 working days. Father Christmas meet and greets and Afternoon Teas will still take place, and if you have a ticket to these you will be contacted with more information soon.

Discover hidden gems including an ornate marble fountain, the 18th-century Bowling Green House and a striking Chinese Bridge and Temple. Stroll up the Long Water to the spectacular Archer Pavilion with its stunning interior making it the focal point of the gardens.

Marvel at the fancy French curves and intricate Italian geometry of the restored bedding displays. From autumnal reds to lush greens in the summer, explore Wrest Park's gardens anew throughout the seasons.
