After that, you’ll have time to explore six themed gardens, relax in the sunshine and wonderful fragrance, and perhaps treat yourself in the tempting shop…

The coach leaves Mayfair at 9.30am and we’ll be back by 2.30pm. We have reserved Boultons’ fully accessible coach which has a side lift to load wheelchairs – so there is no need to transfer in and out.
