Heritage Open Days

With over one hundred acres of deer parkland, adorned with ancient oaks and orchards born out of the original Bramley apple developed in Southwell in the 1840’s, our quintessentially British Country House is the idyllic location for a day out.

 The gardens of Norwood will be open to explore all aspects of the Estate - from the Woodland Walk to the Apple Orchards. For the Little Walkers there will be an activity trail along with craft areas: Can you help Titus find his friends? Walk along the trail and spot all the brightly coloured Highland Cows, can you find them all?

 For those that are intrigued by the History of Norwood Park, why not book onto a History Tour & Talk from Sir John Starkey, his family has resided at Norwood since the 1880s - learn how the estate has transformed over the years to keep up to date with modern technology and trends. Our Head Gardener Alex will also be offering group talks & tours of the flowers beds, providing you with all the hints and tips on how to keep your gardens looking fresh all year round.
