The award winning and extensive gardens at Arley can be considered the finest in Europe. Created over the last 250 years by successive generations of the same family, they offer a variety of planting, design and topiary for gardeners and non-gardener’s alike to enjoy. The house will be closed on 19th May but the Family Chapel of St Mary is open daily to visitors.
Arley may look familiar as it’s also a popular film and television location. Hosting popular programmes from The Antiques Roadshow, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks, to Disney’s Evermoor and more recently Peaky Blinders and the Netflix block buster, Fool Me Once.
The Gardener’s Kitchen Café uses locally sourced ingredients and produce grown in the Arley Kitchen Garden and welcomes groups for coffees, lunches or afternoon teas. The Gift Shop offers a browse round a delightful selection of gifts.
You can opt in to the guided tour of the gardens (by Head Gardener) as part of the trip, or ‘do your own thing’.
You can bring your own picnic - or purchase lunch, snacks and refreshments from the café.
