Christmas on the Estate
That festive feeling is sweeping across our Somerset estate, as plans continue apace to make winter at The Newt more magical than ever. The heady scent of spiced mulled cyder fills the air; a Christmas shop has popped up in the Threshing Barn; and the House & Garden and Farm Shop have been transformed into a treasure trove of gifts and treats. Visit for a vibrant programme of woodland walks, workshops and Christmas crafts, feasting on the flavours of the season, and our first ever Christmas Market Weekend over 9 - 10 December. Enjoy fairy-lit wooden stalls with an array of produce and seasonal wares, carol singing, chestnuts roasting, fires roaring and the chance to book in to see St Nicholas at the Gardener’s Cottage. Join us as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year!

Dine at The Botanical Rooms
Enjoy elegant and seasonal dining, inspired by and gathered from your surroundings. Chef Matt Heeley invites you to feast on estate vegetables, the choicest cuts from the salt room and dayboat fish from the Dorset coast. Savour the tasting menu, paired with Fine Cyder or something special from the house cellar.
A Feast for The Senses
Discover a feast for all the senses, from garden eateries to daily tours and seasonal workshops, all inspired by the land beneath our feet and the history and tradition of Somerset. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of every visit. Explore formal and productive gardens, get a buzz from the Beezantium or discover a subterranean world in The Story of Gardening. Finally, no day would be complete without stopping at the cellar or the Farm Shop to sample a drop or two of Cyder.

Great Garden Escape
Don't miss the train... Run away next summer and experience all things Somerset. From April 2024 we will be embarking once again on a First Class adventure, whisking you from London Paddington to the heart of the West Country. Explore picturesque gardens and ancient woodland, discover the art of cyder making and enjoy the finest fare plucked from the soil beneath your feet. Finally relax back into your seat and savour the perfect afternoon tea, as the miles fly by and we return you to the city.
