Pick up your Adventure Trail booklet from The Fork Handles when you arrive – just £1 each!
Each trail is packed with exciting games, nature-themed challenges, creative art activities, and more to keep kids entertained as they explore the gardens. Whether they’re spotting bugs, sketching leaves, or solving puzzles, there’s always something to explore.
The trails change throughout the summer, so if they’ve done one – don’t worry, they haven’t done them all!
“It was so lovely to have something for the kids to do. It was such a good mixture of games, drawings, and other bits!”
Refreshments Included
Welcome to Stow Hall Gardens. Our family has been lucky enough to live in this beautiful 20 acre garden since 1589. It’s about time we extended the invitation to you! In Lady Rose Hare’s legacy, we are opening up her private garden to the public. When people came to visit her and shared her deep love for the gardens, the joy she felt was unmeasurable. So, we now want to share this joy with you and make the gardens a place for you to relax, to play, to be creative, to explore and most of all to fall in love with.
We are lucky enough to be the home of over 200 rose varieties, an array of ancient trees, a walled garden holding an orchard of rare local apple varieties and so much more. We welcome you to come and explore it for yourself. We also host a variety of events throughout the year. Visit our ‘What’s On’ page to see what’s coming up next. If you’re interested in hosting an event in the gardens, please do get in touch.
