About this space

Welcome to The Norfolk Garden, a charming oasis nestled alongside the Norfolk Cloister. This garden, originally landscaped and planted in its present format after World War II, has matured into a haven for the almshouse residents and a delightful retreat for all who enter.

In the heart of this serene garden stands a magnificent old cherry tree, its branches stretching towards the sky, providing shade and a hint of eternal beauty. The Norfolk Garden is a testament to the English Garden style, carefully designed with secret corners, arbours, and delightful blooms that can be enjoyed all year round.

Pretty and peaceful, this garden invites you to meander through its pathways, discover its hidden gems, and enjoy the ever-changing tapestry of flowers. It's not just a garden; it's a living canvas that evolves with the seasons, providing a stunning floral backdrop for photoshoots, filming, or simply a moment of peaceful contemplation.

Stunning location, a jewel hidden away. Staff were so helpful and we were very pleased with the way the event worked out.
Loos were a bit of a walk for older guests, but were fully accessible.
