Swinton Walled Garden – Spring Open Day
- From £15 per person
- 28th March 2026
- Swinton Park Hotel
A spring garden celebration
Discover the four-acre Walled Garden at Swinton Park Hotel – one of the UK’s largest working hotel kitchen gardens – at the beginning of its seasonal peak during our Spring Open Day.
Enjoy a guided tour led by Grounds & Gardens Manager Joe Lofthouse MHort (RHS) MCIHort, offering insight into the garden’s history, planting and estate-to-plate philosophy. Take a floral masterclass hosted by Anne Harrison, local florist and Swinton team member, who is also the brains behind the seasonal displays at Swinton Park Hotel.
Your ticket also includes a relaxed two-course lunch in Samuel’s Restaurant, showcasing seasonal produce grown, reared and foraged on the Swinton Estate, alongside ingredients from trusted local partners.
On the day of your visit, you are also invited to explore the 200 acres of heritage Parkland & Gardens on the Swinton Estate, either before or after the event, making the most of this special springtime experience.
If you are interested in just visiting without the inclusion of lunch and the floral masterclass, you can always opt for our Garden Only Tour ticket for £15.
