On arrival, top up your energy reserves with a Barnsdale Full English Breakfast, before setting off at 10.30am on a very special guided tour of Barnsdale Gardens with Nick Hamilton at this colourful time of year.

Nick will consider all the individual gardens and adjoining borders and will point out some of his favourite specimens, as well as the plants and trees that are the stars at this time.

Enjoy breakfast from 9.30am. The walk starts at 10.30am.

Join Rutland Book Nook in The Bothy for a FREE craft and activity session.

We’ll be crafting all things autumnal, from hedgehogs, owls and spiders to pumpkins and skeletons but (nothing too scary).

Suitable for age 3+, with adult supervision.

Browse our wide range of high-quality Usborne books and gifts and enjoy a coffee from the Helenium Tearoom while the children are busy.

The Helenium Tearoom are offering 20% off any children's meal on this day.

N.B: Please do not bring your own food and drink, only food and drink from the tearoom are to be consumed in The Bothy, thank you.

Many people think there is nothing to see in winter, so let Emma show you just how stunning your borders can look in winter.

Free. No need to book, just turn up.
