August in the Garden: Enjoying the Last Days of Summer
August is a month of abundance and transition…
Batsford is open from 9.30am-5.00pm Monday-Saturday & 10.00am-5.00pm on Sundays. Last entry into the arboretum is 4.00pm daily.
Café Notice: Essential electrical work is being carried out in the café and kitchen from 2.30pm on Monday 10th August. During these times, our café offer will be reduced to cakes, sandwiches, and hot and cold drinks. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Children’s Play Area: Our children’s play area will be open while temperatures remain below 25°C. We will be keeping a close eye on the weather and will aim to keep the play area open as much as possible. However, during periods of hotter weather, it may need to close at short notice if the equipment becomes too hot to use safely. Thank you for your understanding as we put the safety of our younger visitors first.
Batsford Arboretum is home to a unique collection of some of the world’s most beautiful and rare trees, shrubs and bamboos spread across 60 acres.
Enjoy early colour from the snowdrops, followed by spring-flowering bulbs and spectacular Japanese flowering cherries; escape the heat under the tree canopy in summer and prepare to be amazed by the outstanding autumn colour!


If visiting the arboretum inspires you, explore Batsford Garden Centre, a haven for garden and plant lovers! Enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or coffee at The Garden Terrace Café and catch some retail therapy at the Arboretum Gift Shop.
The Visitor Centre – where you’ll find the Café, Garden Centre and Gift Shop – is completely free to enter. The only part of Batsford you have to pay to go into is the arboretum.
Batsford is a great day out for all the family. Dogs are very welcome on short, fixed leads.
