Wrest Park House & Gardens, Silsoe, Luton, Bedfordshire, MK45 4HS
JUST down the A6 past Bedford is Wrest Park, a glorious stately home and gardens which you’ll be hearing much more about soon.
But this weekend on May 28, 29 and 30, there’s an enormous garden show with over 100 exhibitors.
The Wrest Park Garden Show is open 10am-5.30pm each day and the (not inconsiderable) admission price of £6.50/5.50/4.50 includes access to the vast gardens. English Heritage members get in half price and under 5s go free.
