Harvest time at Mottisfont
Saturday 15 September - Sunday 11 November: an exciting mix of almost 100 works, submitted by artists from all backgrounds and selected by a panel of arts specialists. The exhibition showcases a fascinating variety of media and styles, from drawings and paintings to sculpture, other 3D works, and several textile pieces.
Saturday 20 – Sunday 28 October, 10am - 5pm: different scarecrows are hiding all around the grounds this October half-term. Follow the trail to find them all, and make your own to take home.
Experience the best of our grounds in autumn with a free guided walk, or simply stroll along winding paths throughout the gardens. If you fancy a longer walk, head out into our neighbouring countryside with one of our estate trails.
Our gardens are ablaze with colour in autumn. The stately trees which frame the house and grounds are crowned with glowing red, orange and gold shades from late September through to November.
Take in the changing colours of autumn across the areas we care for in south west Hampshire. There are copper, gold and bronze hues on Stockbridge Down, while interesting fungi pops up among the undergrowth on Curbridge Nature Reserve.
We make compost in vast quantities at Mottisfont, all for the good of our gardens. It keeps our soil healthy, which in turn ensures our plants - including the famous rose collection - are looking their very best. It also means we can recycle our garden waste. Find out more about how we make this vital garden ingredient, and why.
