What's on at Peckover this season? 

Younger visitors are encouraged to look out for a new hedgehog trail later in the year, which celebrates the arrival of Fred, Flower and Hope, rescued and rehabilitated hedgehogs, which have been released into the garden, by Emma’s Hedgehog Hospital.  

There’s another action-packed line-up of events to make a note of too, including the return of the Easter Egg Trail and Summer of Play.
