Ness Hall, East Ness, North Yorkshire, YO62 5XD
We’re delighted to be returning to this delightful private house and gardens in Nunnington, near Helmsley in Yorkshire which is rarely open to the public. We used to hold plant fairs here several years ago and then Harriette felt a change of direction was called for. I’m thrilled that we’re coming back!
Gates open 11am to 4pm.
Admission is £5.00 per person, children are free. Card or cash, but please remember to bring cash for the plant nurseries and just to warn you, the wifi signal here isn’t the best!
The family ask that only Assistance Dogs allowed within the gardens.
Home made food, hot and cold drinks will be sold from the Kitchen but all tables and chairs will be outside in the gardens and beside the kitchen. Toilets are up near the plant fair with easy access for all.
We have a wonderful selection of plant stands and garden accessories attending the fair. We will be in the old pony paddocks, as before, but the whole garden has had a huge make over, with a different entrance to the estate, walls removed and new plantings. It’s still my favourite flower garden!
More details to follow but the following stands will be attending the fair.
