WHATS NEW - BRAND NEW TOURS
The youngest of our visitors at foundation stage will have the time of their lives on our ‘Little Gardeners Tour’ which utilises our magnificent restored Walled Garden as the focal point for a journey with our Georgian Walled Gardeners packed full of exploration and lots of opportunity to smell and feel the unusual and commonplace produce being cultivated. They even get the chance to plant something of their own! Visit our BRAND NEW Educational Pages HERE
In ‘Lifetime and Landscape’, children at key stage 2 and 3 come face to face Shugborough’s very own Thomas Anson and both he and the teacher guide the learners through three exciting activities exploring the role of Thomas Anson as a Botanist, a Collector and as Patron of the Arts.
