Newsletter Spring

(Please note opening times Wednesday & Sunday 10am –5pm.)

We are pleased to announce that the gardens will again be open to the public from good Friday 2ND April

When we announced our closure, we were astounded by the tremendous amount of support we received from our visitors and the general public.

Arrangements have now been finalised with local businessman Justin Ball and his sister Michelle Swann to take over the organisation of the weddings and catering in the tearoom for the open days.  they are very keen to get involved and improve the facilities for our visitors.

We are sure that these new arrangements will enhance your enjoyment when visiting the garden.

Mr Podmore will again be able to spend more time planning and fulfilling his ideas for the continued development of the garden.

We hope you will come and visit soon and look forward to welcoming you.

Our extremely popular and much enjoyed Animal Treasure Hunt will continue until the end of the season and is ABSOLUTLY FREE. So bring your children along to enjoy the wonders of Consall Gardens, get them to explore the dark forest or defend the tower plus there’s a free gift for them if they complete the treasure hunt (mum’s and dad’s can help but no prizes for them).

For our not so young customers we have 70 acres of beautiful gardens with four miles of paths, many of which are tarmac, helping make it more wheelchair user friendly. We also have plants for sale, a gift shop and tearoom serving light lunches, afternoon teas and our famously delicious homemade cakes.

Consall Gardens Buggy Tour

The tour with commentary of the gardens history and conservation has become extremely popular, and is available to all ages both young and old and is not just for visitors with walking difficulties, but is an Added Value Attraction. Most visitors who have taken the tour have commented that it is one of the best tours they have ever been on so don’t miss this MUST DO attraction. Now with our 5-seater buggy to compliment our existing 3-seater buggy even more visitors can experience this wonderful garden tour. The tour takes approximately one hour and is available to visitors at an extra charge (advance booking recommended), which covers the whole of the 70 acres of garden with visits to the most interesting features and breathtaking scenery.

If this is the first time you have read our newsletter, let me tell you a brief summary of Consall Hall Landscape Gardens. It has taken over 50 years to create and design the gardens as you see them today and the work is still continuing. The creator and owner Mr William Podmore OBE will be celebrating his 91st birthday in November and is still very active, you can always find him on open days either in the gift shop or riding around the gardens on his quad bike and he will gladly chat and answer any questions you may have about his life’s work and the amount of enjoyment he gets from opening the gardens to the public.

The gardens receive a great amount of complementary letters from the visitors and both Mr Podmore and all the staff are most appreciative of the kind words written.

Thank you for visiting our web site and we will be in touch with you soon.
