Event Details

A wonderful oportunity to explore the Newt estate which until recently was only available to hotel guests or members of the Newt.

Do book early as this visit is expected to fill quickly!

The Newt estate includes the seventeenth-century Hadspen house which is set in 30 acres of gardens. It is a working estate, owned since 2013 by the South African billionaire Koos Bekker and his wife Karen, the former editor of South Africa’s Elle Decoration magazine. Opened as a luxury hotel, the Newt’s beautiful gardens, woodland, cyder orchards, and eating facilities, are now open free to RHS members (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), with non-RHS members charged a small fee.

The extensive gardens include the Parabola Garden, which, designed by Patrice Taravella, lies within a D-shaped walled garden containing a maze of 460 apple trees with 267 cultivars depicting the English counties.

Free tickets for a small Garden Tour or a Bee Safari may be obtained on arrival, dependent on availability, but everyone can roam around the beautiful grounds, or visit the nearby Roman villa. Members and guests can also enjoy a light lunch or snacks at the Cyder Bar. There are no facilities for picnics.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Warwickshire Gardens Trust generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Warwickshire Gardens Trust, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
