The first Sunday Open Day of our main season – and the Gardens look gorgeous in Spring.

The Gardens open from 11.00am to 5pm, last entry 4.00pm. Adult entry £6.00 if bought in advance or £7.50 on the gate. Advance tickets can be purchased here. Children under 16 FREE. Dogs on leads welcome.

In April visitors see the last of the daffodils and tulips; and blossom on the Easton Countess and other apple trees in the kitchen garden and the flowering cherries in the Glade. The Gardens will be bursting back into a myriad of spring greens.

There will be have-a-go archery with White Dragon Archery as well as an easter egg trail, a spring planting activity for children and the opportunity to climb into the treehouse and find the Countess’ favourite animals.

Local musicians, Karen and Tony, will play a wide range of songs.

Craft stalls.

Our Archivists will have a special display marking the centenary of the Countess of Warwick seeking to pass Easton Lodge to the Trades Union movement, for use as a training college. The Trust’s history and information building will also be open for visitors to browse, with its fine collection of historical photographs and stories from Easton Lodge and its people.

Catering from the Trust’s kiosk: cheese/hummus rolls, homemade cakes and hot and cold drinks. And bacon/sausage rolls provided by the Giggly Pig.

Advance tickets will be refunded if the Trust has to decide the Gardens cannot open, due to a significant risk to visitors and volunteers, for example from adverse weather or very poor ground conditions.
