Diamond Jubilee grand tea party

Monday 4 June, 11am 'till late.

Join us for the biggest party around, including live coverage of the Jubilee highlights on a big screen in the Walled Garden and a rare evening opening - we'll show BBC concert footage until late. Why not enter into the party spirit and come dressed in red, white and blue?

Wallace and Gromit will help us celebrate in a special mini-animation made for the National Trust. And we're screening a favourite Wallace and Gromit film.

There's plenty to do throughout the day with games, trails, Aardman model-making workshops, BBQ and special afternoon tea served on the lawn. Grab a rug, come along and have a grand day out.
