Established in 1886 by linen merchant, Thomas Workman, to supply his estate with fresh, seasonal, produce, this 1.5-acre, listed Victorian garden lay neglected for over 70 years.

Now undergoing a sensitive restoration, the garden and surrounding buildings are being reimagined as a heritage-led eco-tourism destination, rooted in regenerative, organic growing with sustainable, circular practices that celebrate biodiversity and local traditions.

Designed with accessibility and inclusivity in mind, the garden offers year-round inspiration with a growing programme of immersive creative workshops, food and drink experiences, heritage and garden tours, and bespoke private events designed to bring the garden’s history and natural richness to life.

While restoration is ongoing, the Walled Garden is open exclusively for pre-booked workshops, experiences, and private events offering an intimate glimpse into its revival.

Throughout the year, the Walled Garden, Helen’s Bay, comes alive with a thoughtfully curated calendar of events celebrating the seasons, culinary delights, nature, and creativity

From immersive floral and traditional craft workshops to intimate food and drink experiences in the restored Glasshouse, each event reflects our heritage setting and sustainable ethos.

Guests are invited to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the beauty of the garden in every season whether joining a hands-on workshop, attending a special Glasshouse gathering, or hosting a private celebration surrounded by history and natural charm.
