Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens

Visited April and again may and very different views. In April it was spring plants in May summer starting to come through. Rhs partner garden and we are so pleased we revisited so quickly. Plan to go again to see the dahlias. Fab greenhouses with a wonderful pelargonium collection and walls clothed with jasmine and passion flowers . Really friendly staff front of house, cafe and in the garden. Cafe has a good choice for lunch at good prices. The home made quiche so delicious we went for it again in May! The little shop has some nice bits and pieces, gorgeous silk scarf just £10.

Our second visit to this beautiful house. Very knowledgeable staff added to the experience. Lovely walled garden and grounds to walk around too.

Beautiful scenery and clubfest being held here for the caravan and campers was amazing !! ⛺

I recently enjoyed an afternoon tea here with my husband, MiL and a friend. The food is well prepared and presented, and the ladies who work here are lovely. The building and surrounding grounds and gardens are also very beautiful.

Lovely place, well maintained gardens and the room guides in the house are fantastic.Nice food in the cafe, the cheese toastie was lovely.Highly recommend if you are in the area.

It may seem unusual for a wedding photographer to post a review about a wedding venue. But it's the least I can do. Because beautiful house and stunning gardens aside, the entire team always makes me feel incredibly welcome with beaming smiles and excitement. The welcome is so warm it feels like coming home. And this is how it continues for the entire day. Behind the scenes everything is professionally and efficiently run. It's a joy to work at Kelmarsh - and they even remember how I take my tea each time I go! But it's how they treat their couples that's the true test - and if you get an experience half as good as the one I get, you'll be very pleased you chose Kelmarsh!

The Gardens at Kelmarsh Hall are designated by English Heritage (Historic England) as Grade II*, a garden of national significance.The gardens surrounding the Hall are known for their relaxed charm and ‘haphazard luxuriance’.Nancy Lancaster, who lived at Kelmarsh Hall, brought much of the immediate landscape to life during the late 1920s and again in the 1940s, with the help of garden designer Norah Lindsay and landscape architect Geoffrey Jellicoe.Nancy, was a keen gardener who created a soft, beautiful outside space that complimented her English Country House Style interiors. Borders filled with sweet peas and roses framed relaxed seating areas and walkways that provided a backdrop to the diverse views that may be enjoyed from the different aspects of Kelmarsh Hall and provided a stunning venue forlavish cocktail parties in her era.A team of wonderful volunteers have worked tirelessly with experts and our Head Gardeners since 1998 to conjure a sense of the gardens’ heyday from photographs, memories and magazine articles of the period and have created the fragrant, romantic atmosphere that can be enjoyed today.From the sophisticated pastels of the sunken garden through to the showier saturated colours of the 60m long border, the garden leads you on a tour around the perimeter of a triangular walled garden.This secret heart is a relaxing space filled with traditional fruit and vegetables, cut flower beds and a restored vinery. The produce and cut flowers are sold in the Visitor Centre when available.These overlays of history within the gardens contributed to the gardens’ listing by English Heritage as Grade II*, a garden of national significance.
