Make your mark | Shugborough coping stones project

Write up to ten characters on a walled garden coping stone and make your mark here at Shugborough Estate.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As part of our long term programme of conservation here at Shugborough Estate, we are replacing a selection of the coping stones on the walled garden walls. The National Trust's in house stonemasons are currently based here at Shugborough as they complete this important conservation work.

As part of the fundraising around this event we welcome you to come along and add your ten characters onto the coping stones, for a donation of £50.00.

These are drop in sessions, and visitors can make their donation at Visitor Reception.
