Sadly, the decision has been taken to cancel the 2020 event. It will be rescheduled for July 2021. We will post the new date as soon as possible.

Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional celebrates the cars that were the workhorses of their day: the base model saloons, hatchbacks and estates that were sold in their millions between roughly 1968 and 1996, and are now so rare.

There will be live music, good food and lots of unexceptional things to make the day really fun, memorable (and unexceptional!)

To obtain tickets please visit Hagerty’s website.

There’s a lot happening in the gardens at the moment and we want to celebrate all that is great about gardening. More than 1,000 people joined us in beautiful sunshine for the 2019 day, so we are repeating it this year. You will be able to sample food that will include ingredients from our kitchen garden; listen to live music covering a variety of styles and let younger visitors take part in the garden quiz and listen to a storyteller. Grantham beekeepers will be here along with some garden experts who will be happy to talk to you about all things relating to gardening. Most of all – enjoy a day in our gardens! (Usual park charge apply – Season Ticket ARE VALID for use.

‘A great open-air play for all the family’

Now we are really excited for next Summer!

Boxtree Productions invite audiences to pack up a picnic and join us in the open air to enjoy this classic tale of Arthur, a sword and the Knights of the round table.  With inventive staging, original songs and magical storytelling we will give you an experience you will be talking about for years to come!

The audience area will open at 5.00pm. You are welcome to bring a picnic, rugs and chairs (no gazebos of barbeques/garden flares please).
