Winter Wander in the Gardens

We invite you to wrap up warm and join us for some festive fun this Christmas!

Explore the beauty of winter at Capel Manor Gardens, including fragrant winter flowering shrubs like Sarcococca, Daphne and Witch Hazels. Enjoy the wintery colours of Hellebores, Ornamental Quince and Heathers that flower during this time.

Children can also:

Post their letter to Santa
