Join us for a free, hour-long guided sensory walk for people living with dementia and those who support or care for anyone living with dementia.

Book now for our monthly dementia-friendly walks and explore our gardens with support of our volunteer guides.
Designed to take in seasonal highlights, the tour is an opportunity to explore nature in a small group at a gentle pace. After the walk, participants can explore the house (open 11.30am–3.30pm, last entry 3pm) in their own time.
The walk is entirely step-free and there will be two on-site wheelchairs reserved for attendees to use.
