The Trentham Estate in Staffordshire has unveiled a special VIP tour for groups visiting over the summer, which explores its 725 acres of landscaped gardens.
Located on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent, The Trentham Estate is offering groups a chance to take a closer look at the award-winning gardens on the new guided tour.
What’s to be seen on the tour?
The tour will be led by Trentham's garden team manager, Carol Adams. Taking in the history of Trentham, the guided experience will reveal the full story behind the garden’s renaissance after being re-opened to the public 13 years ago, and provide an in-depth look at its planting schemes.
Groups taking the VIP tour will also get a chance to see the latest floral displays in the restored gardens, as well as one of the largest sequential garden meadows in the country.
Further tour highlights will include the lake and woodlands, and an up-close and personal monkey experience at Trentham Monkey Forest, also located on-site.
Booking details
The VIP tour lasts around two hours and has a choice of start times of either 10am or 2pm. It is available on selected dates throughout the summer, until 22nd September.
If you are unable to make the specified VIP tour dates, there’s also the option to organise a personalised tour with one of the Trentham team on a general garden tour at any time. All tours must be pre-booked.
