Join us for an entertaining tour of our natural gardens, led by Wiveton Hall’s owner Desmond MacCarthy on Thursday 9th April - the first Garden Tour of the season.
This Easter, meander through the historic grounds of this 17th-century Jacobean manor, from the vibrant walled Kitchen Garden to the secluded Sunk garden with its outstanding views across the Cley marshes.
Desmond will share stories of the house and the "Normal for Norfolk" life that has made Wiveton a destination on the North Norfolk coast.
Also learn about how the gardens are a family passion in memory of Chloe, Desmond’s mother. And why its extraordinary coastal location means the gardens flourish being so close to the sea.
This first tour on Thursday 9th April sees Wiveton in springtime.
And 4 other dates this summer.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome to join the tour.
