We welcome visits by clubs, societies, schools and colleges.

The benefits of visiting as a Group
Our advertised opening hours are 2-6 pm, but we allow groups like yours to enjoy the garden and exhibition at any time during the day. So if you want to have the garden to yourselves, a morning visit can be arranged. This way you have the full use of our facilities at your disposal without any noise or disturbance by other visitors, allowing your group to take full advantage of the unique, peaceful yet stimulating atmosphere of our Garden.

In addition to this, we will give you a generous 25% discount off the normal adult admission price (20% in winter). As long as you come in a group of at least ten people, adults will pay just £3.00 (£2.00 in winter). All we ask is that your party is at least ten in number.

Schools & Colleges
If you are a school or college group, any accompanying adults will only pay the same rate as their students. So all members of your party will pay just £2.00. (That's a 20% saving for the students and a 50% saving for adults).
We prefer student groups to visit in the morning, where this is possible.

How to arrange a visit

Just give us a ring on 01647 231311 or email paul@mythicgarden.eclipse.co.uk with your preferred date and time and we will reserve the garden for you. We have space for small coaches and mini-buses in our car park. There is space for one larger coach (49 seater) in the layby just up the lane and our staff are always happy to help coach drivers with parking arrangements. Because of the narrow lanes it is recommended that coaches approach down the lane from Whiddon Down.

Whilst we have no catering facilities on site, there are several good tea rooms and pubs within a couple of miles. We are happy to give details of these when you make your booking. Alternatively your group is welcome to bring a picnic into the garden.

I hope you will take the opportunity to come and enjoy our garden this year. If there is anything you would like to discuss, please contact me using one of the methods above.

Disabled Access
The Garden is set on a sloping site, with a level, stony drive leading into the top half of the arboretum; which consists of groupings of trees with grass areas between. This area slopes downhill to the second half of the garden;  which is accessed by narrow paths, some soft, some stone paths and various sets of steps. We only have a standard toilet, but it is at ground level. During the low season all visitors can park in our farmyard immediately by the entrance.

The above information is intended to be informative to those who feel they may have difficulty negotiating the garden. We do not advertise as being suitable for people with walking difficulties, but will make every effort to assist and help you enjoy your visit. If in any doubt, please phone us for a chat. 01647 231311.
