Reading the garden at Berrington Hall

In 2025, Berrington Hall is celebrating its rich Georgian heritage with the theme, 'reading the garden'. Find out what's on throughout the year, including the launch of a brand new flower garden.
In 2025, we celebrate 250 years since Thomas Harley acquired Berrington Hall and commissioned Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and Henry Holland to create its gardens, parkland and Neo-classical mansion.
Throughout the year, our 'Reading the Garden' events and activities will celebrate Berrington's Georgian heritage with a focus on the gardens and their connection to the parkland and mansion house. Here's just some of the things to expect on your visit.
A new flower garden
In summer 2025, Berrington Hall will unveil a new flower garden. Guided by historical records, this new flower garden will enhance Berrington's Georgian pleasure grounds, offering a garden experience to surprise and delight, just as Thomas Harley and 'Capability' Brown intended.
