Join an exclusive tour of Canons Ashby’s gardens led by our Head Gardener. Learn about the history of the gardens, the plants around you, and the way the team cares for them. Afterwards, enjoy a cream tea together in the tea-room. This event will go ahead whatever the weather, as long as it is safe to do so. Therefore, please dress accordingly.
