Easton Walled Gardens has a strict 'Keep ON the grass' policy, welcoming children for a half term of exploring, making and creating.  Activities will include the ancient game of pumpkin rolling, which challenges players to roll a pumpkin down the beautiful grass terraces without breaking your pumpkin, the furthest roller wins. 

Afterwards, visitors can feed the snails, create their own grass hedgehog, design Halloween masks and explore the 12 acres of gardens. There are conkers to find, dens to build or simply kick a ball on the vast lawns. On Sunday 26th October there will be some furry visitors making an appearance, with Racoons, Meerkats and even a skunk in the gardens to meet the visiting children.

The tearoom is open every day serving warming homemade soups and light lunches. If the sun is shining then families are welcome to bring a picnic. Adults can walk in 12 acres of grounds, find out the fascinating history behind these 400 year old gardens and enjoy some relaxed Christmas shopping in the well stocked shop which is full of unusual quality gifts.

The gardens are open and activities available on the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday,  11.00am-4.00pm during half-term week (22nd-31st October) £6.75 for adults and £2.75 for children

A regular contributor to the garden pages of Country Life, Ursula Cholmeley has restored this ancient 12 acre garden from a wilderness into one of the UK's leading garden attractions. The gardens include meadows, roses, sweet peas, spring bulbs and shrubs, cutflower and vegetable gardens. The emphasis is firmly on horticulture although the cakes are pretty good too! Listed as one of the UK's top 10 walled gardens and top 25 best Gourmet Garden Centres, this is a visit to exceed expectations.
