Discover one of Surrey's hidden treasures
Welcome
A beautiful historic parkland designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown with Edwardian gardens in Reigate, Surrey.
We are open to the public on the first Sunday of each month from February to December. In addition, we have a programme of special and seasonal events, workshops and children’s activities.
Please see our What’s On page for times, prices and to book. The park is not open to the public outside of paid open days and organised activities.
Thank you to our volunteers and staff for their hard work.
The Community Fund for Reigate and Banstead and the Orchid Environmental Trust Fund have together awarded grants through The Community Foundation for Surrey to fund a volunteer coordinator to work with our amazing team. Many thanks to them.
