GUIDED TOURS

We welcome groups by arrangement and have a small team of knowledgeable guides who provide tours of the garden. Tours take approximately 50 – 60 minutes and provide a history of the garden, bringing you up to date with how the gardens are managed today. You are welcome to stay in the garden as long as you wish or to eat a packed lunch in the garden. The garden is run entirely by volunteers and all the proceeds go towards the garden’s upkeep, restoration and development.

There is a WC which is opened for group tours, but teas are only provided on Sunday afternoons, from the end of May to mid September. The RC Cathedral Narthex, which is next door, and has a new, purpose built hospitality centre, is open for refreshments every day until 4pm, except Monday.

We regret that we have no parking at the garden. There is paid for parking adjacent to the garden on Earlham Road. On Sundays and after 6.30pm it is possible to park on Earlham Road or neighbouring residential roads or use the Norwich City car parks. Coaches are recommended to decant passengers on the Earlham Road and pick up at a pre-arranged time. If your driver is unfamiliar with the City please ensure he/she has checked coach parking with Norwich City Council.
