'Garden of the Year' Opens for 2015!



The stunning camellia walk

We are already one week in to the 2015 Season - it is difficult to believe where the time has gone! The season has begun in a celebratory mood as we are very proud to be announced HHA Garden of the Year 2015.  As always, the gardeners have been hard at work maintaining the gardens and making some quite dramatic changes. The daffodils are emerging and the camellias and hellebores are looking better than ever just in time for Easter weekend.  Bluebell season is almost upon us; their arrival is anticipated for the end of April.

Exciting changes have also taken place in the Visitor Centre, where we now stock a delicious range of jams, chutneys and preserves from Just Preserves in Sheffield and biscuits from Artisan Biscuits in Ashbourne.  They are definitely a hit with visitors and staff members alike! We still stock a range of honey from The Sheffield Honey Company and wine from Renishaw Hall's own vineyard along with Renishaw Hall souvenirs. Stop by the Visitor Centre for more information.



Don't be late for this very important date!



On Easter Monday, we welcome Alice in Wonderland and friends to the gardens,  which will make for a truly magical afternoon.  Alice will be around from 1pm - 3.30pm.  There is no additional charge for this event, though normal admission costs apply.  Remember to collect a free Children's Trail Map or Quiz Sheet from the Visitor Centre on your way in.

There is lots to look forward this year, from a full weekend of literary fun in May as part of Derbyshire Literary Festival including the first ever public Literary Tall and a poetry workshop with Derbyshire Poet Laureate, Helen Mort.  For information contact the Events Office on 01246 432310 or enquiries@renishaw-hall.co.uk.  To keep up to date with day to day goings on, follow us on Twitter  or like us on Facebook.

 

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
