May half term at Erddig

Celebrate Children’s Gardening Week at Erddig this May half term. Enjoy a week of hands on fun, creativity and nature for the whole family.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

From 26 May to 1 June, celebrate the beauty of our gardens and the dedicated gardeners who bring them to life. Wander through our Grade I-listed garden, where vibrant borders and seasonal displays burst into colour.

Join our expert gardening team on 26 and 27 May for border sowing sessions. Little green fingers will love picking up a watering can or spade to help sow wildflowers in the garden borders. Return this summer to see how your gardening efforts have blossomed.

Unleash your creativity in our upcycle and sow sessions on 28 and 29 May. Turn tins and bottles into plant pots, then plant basil seeds to take home.

As you wander through the formal gardens, keep an eye out for our fork stations around the grounds. Each station shares fascinating historical facts, seasonal tips and handy gardening advice from our experts.

Normal admission charges apply. National Trust members and under 5s enter for free.
