Newt | The Newt in Somerset

A Country Estate, Reimagined

Our working estate in Somerset has acres of splendid gardens, woodland, farmland and cyder orchards to explore. Stay a night or two, or become a member and see the landscape change throughout the year.

Easter on the Estate

Join us on the estate this Easter to celebrate the season and share the enjoyment of our gardens and farms springing into life. The What's On calendar is busy with activities for all the family, and the shops are filled with chocolate treats, roasting joints, Bakery favourites, potted plant bulbs and garden essentials.

During the school holidays from 1-16 April, we're putting on an Easter Trail for little ones to explore the gardens; while the long weekend of 7-10 April is not to be missed, with new Children's Garden Tours and lamb feeding demonstrations from our farmer. Hop to it!

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.
