Insider tips

Check the official website calendar before visiting, as the park often hosts private events or ticketed concerts that may restrict access to certain areas.

Explore the periphery of the park to view the restored historic brickwork of the original greenhouses.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the paths are primarily gravel and dirt.

What to avoid

Do not expect a traditional botanical garden; it is a cultural and event space rather than a floral exhibition.

Good to know

Grounds may be closed to the public during large-scale music festivals or private cultural events.

Etiquette

Maintain noise levels during cultural events; smoking is restricted to designated outdoor zones.
