🌹 WHAT TO EXPECT
Entrance includes a fascinating tour of the walled garden and visitors are encouraged to break their visit with a picnic or a visit to the Woodyard Café. The garden is best enjoyed at a snail’s pace, entrance is for all day! Notice boards and displays are updated throughout the season allowing fascinating insight into the garden’s rich history.
♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
Every effort has been made to make the garden accessible to as many visitors as possible. With that in mind we have recently finished resurfacing the area around the sundial making it far easier for wheeled access. However, due to the age and rich history of the garden there are some areas that are not accessible by wheelchair. Please inform members of the Walled Garden Project at the entrance and every effort will be made to provide an alternative route, provide commentary on the area, or help with pushing if there are volunteers available. Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.
🐶 DOGS
Dogs on leads with well-behaved owners are most welcome at the Walled Garden.

Parking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays. Pre-booking is not required. Please note the Walled Garden is not at the hotel entrance.

🎪 MATT RAWLE STARS AS THE WORLD’S GREATEST SHOWMAN
Matt Rawle (Cabaret, Evita, Les Misérables) takes centre stage as legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum. Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse, this spectacular production features an extraordinary ensemble of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and amazing circus acts.
From ambitious dreams to breathtaking risks, Barnum’s story unfolds in a whirlwind of imagination, showbiz and larger-than-life entertainment. Audiences can expect delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for.
🎵 WHAT TO EXPECT
Barnum first wowed UK audiences at the London Palladium, where Michael Crawford famously took to the tightrope night after night. Now Matt Rawle follows in those footsteps - and on to the wire - in a production bursting with theatrical flair.
Come follow the band with glorious music by multi-award winner Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart and a book by Mark Bramble, featuring classic songs including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.
⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY
This show includes smoke, haze, gunshots, fire, loud noises, flashing lights, darkness, balloons and clowns, and depicts racism, slavery, and exploitation of human and animal performers in the 19th-century entertainment industry.
🎟 TICKET COST: From £15.60
▪️Please note: A booking fee of £3.95 is applied to each order.
