Group visits

Bluebell Cottage Gardens is a perfect half day visit for groups and ideal for combining with other local gardens (see below). We welcome both horticultural clubs and social groups such as WI, U3A, Rotarians etc.

In 2011 the gardens are open from 23rd March to the 2nd October. Group visits are welcome by prior arrangement only on any day except Mondays. We suggest allowing two hours for your visit, either during the morning or afternoon. At present we can't provide lunches but visitors are welcome to enjoy packed lunches at the picnic tables in the nursery.

Our group package is priced at £5.20 per person for 2011 and includes:

• Guided tour of the gardens by Sue Beesley or a senior member of the team
• Tea, coffee and locally made cakes/biscuits, with exclusive group use of the tea room
• Unlimited access to the gardens, meadow and bluebell woods.
• Dedicated member of staff on hand to answer questions during the visit

Coach parking is available in our nursery car park. The lane is accessible by all coaches up to 12.8 metres in length with a ferry lift which is required to clear the canal bridge. We cannot receive the larger 14.1 metre coaches due to a tight corner on the lane.

If you have any questions, or would like to reserve a date for your group, please call 01928 713718 or send an email. We will be happy to hold dates while you consult group members. No payment is required until 1 week before your visit.
