Traditional Charcoal Burn & BBQ ~ Wednesday 2nd June
To celebrate the first summer late opening on Wednesday 2nd June, join our gardens team at the Charcoal Burner's Hut to experience charcoal being made in the traditional way, just like a woodsman would have done hundreds of years ago. The chefs will also be providing a barbecue into the evening.

Further info
Food and drink will be available every Wednesday (including wood-fired pizzas, barbecues and more), and on various dates (TBC), we will be providing entertainment in the form of punting, or music in the gardens.
