Experience the annual spectacle of Mottisfont’s world-famous rose garden as day turns to dusk. Our beautiful walled garden, home to the National Collection of pre-1900 shrub roses, is at its most spectacular in early summer; a fragrant, romantic setting filled with colour and charm.
Late evening openings offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the roses when the light is softer, the air is scented with rose perfume, and the atmosphere is peaceful. It's a particularly special time to visit, with fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace.
From Thursday 29 May to Saturday 21 June, the rose garden will be open late on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Normal admission applies (free for National Trust members).
On Fridays, we’re making the evenings extra special: pack a picnic or enjoy food from the Walled Garden kiosk and take part in traditional outdoor games on the lawn. It’s the perfect way to unwind and welcome the weekend with friends and family in the beautiful surroundings of Mottisfont.
