About this event

  • 4 hours 30 minutes

Our Summer Picnic this year will be held at Littlethorpe Manor by kind permission of Mrs J P Thackray. Enjoy an extensive guided tour of the 11 acres of gardens which have been developed since 1998 by Head Gardener, Eddie Harland and his team. These include a walled garden with herbaceous planting, roses and gazebo, a sunken garden with ornamental plants and herbs, brick pergola with wisteria, blue and yellow borders, a formal lawn with fountain pool, and a large pond with classical pavilion and boardwalk. We will explore the new contemporary physic garden with rill, raised beds and medicinal plants designed in commemoration of Mr John P. Thackray, OBE, and the family company Chas. F. Thackray.

Tickets cost: £17.50 (non-members £20.00) includes morning refreshments. Please bring a picnic lunch and we’ll provide the strawberries and cream in the covered marquee.

Organisers: Maddy Hughes and Vicky Price

Yorkshire Gardens Trust

Every year we organise a varied programme of events aimed at improving our knowledge and enjoyment of designed landscapes, parks and gardens. Our visits are usually led by owners, head gardeners and researchers. We also arrange study days and lectures, both in person and by zoom.

Members and non-members are welcome. For popular events, and for those limited by numbers, priority will be given to members. See website, or contact events@yorkshiregardenstrust.org.uk, for more information.

We aim to maintain ticket costs at a reasonable level to ensure that our events are accessible. We include some element of fund raising in some of our visit prices to support our Small Grants, Bursary and Schools programmes.
