Important Information

The event will take place outdoors on the lawn in the Wilderness Garden. Please dress for the weather and bring your own picnic blankets and low backed chairs. Please be considerate of your fellow audience members and avoid bringing umbrellas as these block the view of others. In case of rain, ponchos and raincoats are great and if the sun is shining, don’t forget your hat and suncream!

You are welcome to bring your own picnic, however, our tearoom will be open, serving hot and cold drinks along with light refreshments before the performance begins. Drinks and snacks including ice cream will be on sale during the interval.

There will be plenty of free parking available for event ticket holders.

Our beautiful historic hill top site does mean that access to the gardens is uphill on an uneven surface. If you have any access requirements, please email mail@hoghtontower.co.uk or call us on 01254 852986 to discuss this before purchasing a ticket.
