Entry to Stowe Gardens is FREE for this special open weekend.
🌸 ABOUT STOWE GARDENS
Vanbrugh arrived at Stowe in 1719, working alongside garden designer Charles Bridgeman and commissioned by Lord Cobham, who had just begun shaping the estate after years abroad.
His role was to bring architectural drama to the landscape and help unify the existing house - and although many of his original structures were later altered or replaced, his flair helped begin Stowe’s transformation into one of Britain’s finest 18th-century estates.
🏠 EXTRA AT STOWE HOUSE
Stowe House (not National Trust) will also be offering visitors a special £3 admission (usually £9.50 for adults / £7.50 for National Trust members) along with a selection of events including crafts, workshops and storytelling. To find out more, visit stowehouse.org.
♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
There is an 800m walk from the car park to the garden entrance, with a free access shuttle operating daily from the café to the garden entrance. There is plenty of accessible parking, accessible toilets at New Inn, by the café, and at the garden entrance, plus accessible vehicles available to hire - please phone in advance to book.
📍 LOCATION
Stowe Gardens, Buckingham, MK18 5EQ
