With plenty happening across the Estate, it’s the ideal time of year to visit.

With its picturesque winter setting and beautiful rooms stylishly decorated with festive foliage, The Walled Garden is a warm and welcoming event space that hosts several new experiences this winter, including a fabulous Christmas Afternoon Tea and hands-on wreath-making workshops. Elsewhere on the Estate, Cowdray Farm Shop & Café sees the return of customer favourites including our tasting days, late-night opening, and our ever-popular Farm Shop Evening Dining. And for the most active amongst us, why not sign up for an invigorating night-time run, part of our exclusive Run the Seasons series?
