Swinton Walled Garden Autumn Open Day

- Swinton Park Hotel
Harvest season in full display
As the four-acre Walled Garden at Swinton Park Hotel shifts into rich autumn colour, late harvests and golden hues create a striking backdrop for our Autumn Open Day.
Enjoy a guided tour led by Grounds & Gardens Manager Joe Lofthouse MHort (RHS) MCIHort, sharing insights into the garden’s seasonal transition, heritage planting, and Estate to Plate ethos, followed by a floral masterclass with Anne Harrison, local florist.
The day includes a two-course lunch in Samuel’s Restaurant, where autumn produce from the Swinton Estate takes centre stage, alongside ingredients from valued local suppliers.
You are also invited to explore 200 acres of heritage Parkland & Gardens on the Swinton Estate during your visit, offering a chance to take in the landscape as it turns for the season.
For those wishing to attend without lunch and the floral masterclass, a Garden Tour Only ticket is available for £20, which can be purchased here.
