Ready to Welcome You as Our Gardens Open in March

We are delighted to finally be able to open the gates to the gardens now on the 27th March, along with the Steam Museum. Whilst we would normally welcome visitors to the Winter Garden from early February, there is still plenty of colour to be seen and until will cut the Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’, that can also still really be enjoyed. 

To pre-book tickets, please follow the link here to the Bressingham Steam Museum page. 

The Gardens main open season is April to October, every day 10.30 to 5 pm.

The Bressingham Gardens main open season coincides with that of our partner on site, the Bressingham Steam Museum, from whom all tickets for this season can be purchased; entry through the Steam Museum.

In Autumn, if the season colours hold beautifully in November, we have a special prolonged opening. We publish details at the end of October.

In Winter, usually mid February, we have a special Winter Garden opening for a few weeks. We publish exact dates in January according to the season.

Any other time, it is possible to arrange private openings outside of season or opening times – please send as an email on erica@bressinghamgardens.com

Visiting with Dogs

We regret to inform our visitors, that unfortunately, due to steam trains running on our grounds, the public liability insurance contract will not allow dogs on site. We would love for you to be able to visit with your furry friends, and hope that Insurance companies will soon change their rules. Thank you for understanding.

How to find us

The Bressingham Gardens lay to the west of Bressingham Garden Centre and Bressingham Steam Museum, both of which have ample car parks, although on very busy holiday weekends or event days an additional car park will be open, entry west of Bressingham Church.

The Gardens lie south of the A1066 road, 2.5 miles west of Diss, 14 miles east of Thetford.

Testimonials

1/9/2021 My first visit at 83, why has it taken me so long to visit, when I used to organize trips for Brookshy Garden Club (Leicestershire). the best I have seen in my lifetime (to date). Thank you, Eric Abell

“ Stunning, memorable, a true paradise. A place which is now on our favourites list to be visited regularly now that we are retired. Inspiring  ideas too, to take home and emulate.”

Most definitely the best gardens we have visited, with amazing trees, shrubs and plants brought together in great displays.

Absolutely beautiful – breathtaking in fact. So pleased I made the journey here!

“ A stunning garden, even as summer fades— the garden is still in full bloom! Amazing work”

“ Unexpected beauty at every turn, combined with family fun. A really good day to celebrate our anniversary”

“Extremely beautiful garden, well done, well worth the visit, will come again”

“We had a wonderful visit to the gardens in February when the snowdrops were at their best in Foggy Bottom and the carefully placed Cornus were ablaze.”

“Fabulous! We’ve been every season and it’s always fabulous!”

“Lovely visit – we always enjoy our time here whatever time of the year. Thank you so much.”
