The Alnwick Garden is a contemporary garden built around water features and themed areas. The Poison Garden is the main draw — a guided tour through hundreds of toxic and narcotic plants with stories about poison and historical murders. Other sections include the Bamboo Labyrinth, the Sage Wealth Management Grand Cascade (a water feature with sequences), the Serpent Garden (designed to be splashed in), the Rose Garden with 3000 English shrub roses and climbers, and the Ornamental Garden. The garden changes across seasons. There is a Treehouse Restaurant, a Pavilion Cafe and Bakery, and Adventure Golf on site.
Open Jun-Nov with extended hours (6pm) during summer holidays and reduced hours (4pm) during Oct half term. Closed Nov-May.
