Melbourne Hall The Gardens — Attraction in South Derbyshire

Had a wonderful day out. Easy to park but could imagine it could get busy. Had a walk around the lake. My 5 year old managed it great and it was beautiful. Wouldn't do it if we had rain, the path goes to grass on parts and could imagine it could be difficult.

We had lunch in the cafe and it was delicious. Don't have a kids menu but they were happy to adapt anything. The afternoon tea looked lovely as I stared at them delivering it to another couple (must pre book). They followed covid rules well and stopped lots of people coming in till they were ready. Would definitely go again.

The gardens opened at 1pm and was £17 for 2 adults and 2 children over 5. Or £6 for an adult. So family worked out well for the price.

Beautiful......so stunning and lots of little cut aways and walk ways you can go. Kids loved exploring. There are lots of fountains and pools so just watch the really little ones. There is a small animal area with pigs, goats, alpacas, chickens and a tiny horse named Isla, who my daughter fell in love with and the girls who were mucking out were really polite and friendly and told us about Isla. Thankyou but now my daughter wants a pony!!! 😆

Overall a really great day out with or without kids and could bring a picnic to keep the cost down. Will definitely come back for a wander without the kids so I can spend time looking at the plants and flowers. Although we did have fun smelling the different stunning roses next to the wall near the...

We watched Pretty Women here the other night, and if you haven't been to one of these events, then watch out for them. They are a lot of fun... just remember to take a jumper/coat, blanket, and picnic with your camping chair! The temperature really drops at night. There were a few kiosks dotted about selling burgers, hotdogs, and vegan food, as well as hot and cold beverages. They also had a shop set up selling blankets for those that forgot, I think, for around £20! It did state limited disabled parking, but there were plenty of spaces available. The walk to where the platform was set up was on a footpath, although it was at a bit of an incline, just a heads up for those with breathing difficulties or walking aids! It is a gentle one and is doable. It's wheelchair friendly. There were toilets set up that were...
