We are happy for parties of 10 or less to visit by appointment on other days than Sundays, but the fee is then £65 inclusive, whatever the number (ie £65 for one, or two, or three, up to and including ten. Over 10 people £6.50 each). To book email anne@veddw.co.uk

Coach Parties – please see How to Find Us for where to park the coach. To book email anne@veddw.co.uk
Please don’t plan ‘recce’ visits when we are closed for the year (ie from October to May) – we need the break and such visits absolutely don’t do justice to the garden. We regularly have coach parties, so if that is your worry feel reassured that you should have no problems. (see How to find us)
