Bradworthy News - May 2000

Late evening openings at Rosemoor

When the crowds have gone, and the evening sun lights the garden from the west, there is no better time to wander slowly through the beautiful gardens at Rosemoor. To celebrate Rosemoor's tenth anniversary, a selection of lectures and garden walks will take place during the early evening at Rosemoor throughout the summer. All walks and lectures will be £2.50 for RHS members and £6.50 (which includes Garden entry) for non-members. You do not have to attend the walks or lectures, but can simply enjoy Rosemoor at a tranquil time of day. Normal garden entry applies for early evening visits.

Rosemoor is open all year except Christmas Day, April-September 10am-6pm, October-March 10am-5pm.

Adults: £4, Children 6-16 £1, Under 6s free, RHS members free. For further information on all events, please call 01805 624 067.
