Learn about the concept and design of our newest Four Seasons Garden

January is the month to reset and repair after a frenetic end to the year. Despite often dark, damp appearances in the gardens, fresh shoots spear cold earth as a secret world sets to work beneath our feet. Carpets of crocuses and snowdrops are welcome harbingers of brighter days and a bumper crop of beautiful brassicas in the Market Garden inspires our chefs to conjure nourishing dishes to warm the cockles and soothe the soul.

Hoping for moments to spark joy this January? Our burgeoning 2025 programme looks to the landscape, history and traditions here in Somerset to capture imaginations and ignite the senses. Join us to rest, revitalise and perhaps try something new.
