The visit, with introduction by staff, will showcase the Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park, home to 90 contemporary sculptures in 45 acres of stunning woodland and gardens.

The Garden's microclimate accommodates the rare blue poppy, and the North's largest collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias, totalling 20,000 plants. A Pagoda, Summerhouse, Norse Hut, Contemplation Circle and Himalayan Shelter enhance the valley location, containing three lakes and decorative bridges.

Winner of the 2019 Yorkshire in Bloom Award 2019 and 2019 Best Business Award 2019, the gardens were shortlisted for BBC Countryfile's Award 2020. BBC's Countryfile featured the Park which has attracted Joanna Lumley as a Patron.
