The Gardener’s Bothy 2023

This year we are going to try something different at the Bothy, namely moving to an events-based system of opening. We are going to be open for distinct periods of time around an event or theme rather than being open Thursday-Sunday for most weeks of the year.

Our first opening entitled ‘Early Bird’ will run between Saturday 4th March to Sunday 19th March and as the name suggests will be based around all things bird, as well as coppice products, tools and other items for use at the start of the gardening year. The full list of other opening dates for our events is below and during these periods we will be open every day of the week except for Mondays which fits in with the opening pattern of the Ferrers Centre.
