It's all happening at Barnsdale! Every Sunday during July and August, we're offering family events, free with Garden entry.

Hunt for the Fairy doors, Fairy houses and Fairies in the woodland and around the gardens. Solve the Fairy riddles, work out what the fairies are trying to tell us and make a wish at the wishing tree.

A special day of informal walks and talks hosted by writer, broadcaster and rose fan Stuart Dixon.

So if you’re looking for a particular variety or just love roses, join Stuart to tour the Gardens and learn more- there’s no booking necessary and you’re welcome to join him for as long as you like.
