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.

Fire Night Festivities

The counterpoint to Wassail in our estate calendar, Fire Night is a chance to give thanks for an abundant apple harvest and ward off the winter by way of burning effigy - with plenty of warming fare, fire and cyder. For the first time ever, member tickets are now available to experience this multi-sensory ceremony first-hand. Members can bring one adult and up to four children, with adult tickets at £40 and children £15. Tickets are available via the app and include entry, entertainment and complimentary food and drinks. It promises to be a blast!

Tickets on sale now - check The Newt app for details

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.
