Rose Festival Weekend

You won’t want to miss this.

What’s Happening: Join us for a beautifully curated Rose Festival Weekend, celebrating the elegance of summer in full bloom.

Throughout the weekend, discover thoughtful displays of potted roses at their seasonal best, set within our relaxed and inspiring main garden courtyard. Wander through colour, fragrance, and texture as we showcase the simple beauty of roses in a way that feels both natural and inviting.

Enjoy exclusive weekend offers, along with complimentary rose care bundles. Our plant specialists will be available across the event for personalised one-to-one advice, from pruning and planting to companion combinations and ongoing rose care.

Our café will be serving a seasonal selection of rose-inspired cakes, bakes, and drinks, created especially for the occasion and there will be live music on the Sunday.

Weekend Highlights (Saturday and Sunday)

First Weekend Roses Purchases: Be quick – the first 25 rose purchases each day receive a complimentary rose care bundle.

Weekend Rose Selection: David Austin Roses will be available throughout the weekend with exclusive seasonal pricing across the entire range — the perfect opportunity to purchase, plant, and enjoy breathtaking blooms all summer long. With a wide range of varieties in stock, there’s something for every garden style and colour palette. We expect high demand across the weekend, so early selection is strongly recommended to secure your favourites before they sell out…

Rose Courtyard Experience: Across both days, our Courtyard will have a dedicated area where you can observe informal, ongoing demonstrations covering planting, pruning, deadheading, companion planting, and general rose care.

One to one Rose Advice: At any time during the weekend, we’ll be on hand throughout the weekend to help you find the best rose for your garden, with one-to-one advice tailored to your space, style, and growing conditions.

Rose Café Specials: Enjoy a seasonal rose-themed menu of drinks, cakes, and bakes created especially for the weekend. Booking recommended.
