Winter special opening Sunday 27th February 2 PM: Award winning Winter Garden and Foggy Bottom Guided Visit with Adrian Bloom, Bressingham hall tour with tea and cake.
‘Enjoy an afternoon of sheer delight walking amidst unexpected colour and fragrance through the award winning Winter garden and Foggy Bottom with their designer and head gardener Adrian Bloom.
Allow yourself to be led, tiptoeing, into Adrian’s magic world of winter botanical drama where fiery naked branches and trunks provide awe inspiring combinations, backed by a myriad of diverse shades of evergreens finely enriched by dry grasses and seedheads left standing among heathers and beautifully scented winter flowering shrubs.
Join us at 2 pm for a guided tour of the gardens, followed by tea and scrumptious homemade cake (gluten free options available), and topped off with a historical guided visit of the house with a Bloom family member who grew up in the Hall.’

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.
Steam Museum
Bressingham Gardens and Steam Experience is a unique combination arising out of the passions of founder Alan Bloom, whose profession of nurseryman and gardener and hobby of a steam powered collection of trains and traction engines led to the leisure destination of Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum (The Steam Museum is now a charitable trust).
Here families with children can enjoy train rides into the Waveney woodland and valley and around Alan Bloom’s Dell Garden, ride on the Victorian Roundabout, the Gallopers or visit the Dad’s Army reconstruction of Warmington on Sea as shown in the ever popular TV series Dad’s Army.
