Painswick Rococo Garden

Painswick Rococo Garden Designed in the 1740s as a pleasure garden for holding intimate garden parties, this hidden valley is now the country's only surviving complete rococo garden.
(275)

Painswick Rococo Garden is set in a hidden Cotswold valley and dates from Georgian times. Over the last 30 years it has been restored to its original layout as depicted in a painting dated 1748. The Garden now allows you to step back into the sensual early 18th century, when gardens were becoming theatrical and romantic backdrops for entertaining guests. During the Rococo period, home owners compe

ted amongst themselves to create flamboyant designs and sought to visually surprise their visitors with architecture and vistas rather than the horticultural unusual. Here at Painswick, contemporary follies nestle next to dramatic views and woodland walks. We are particularly proud of our large kitchen garden which was created right in the middle of the original design layout. We grow many forms of heritage fruit and vegetables. The Garden can also offer an unusual and romantic setting for civil weddings and partnership ceremonies. Our cafe serves hot and cold drinks and a delicious range of cakes and ice-creams. We have a free car park and dogs are welcome in the grounds on leads.

Thank you to all the children who helped the gnomes have the best, and possibly longest, tea party of the summer!

Our little gnome friends have had a wonderful time in the Garden. Sadly, they’ll be packing up and leaving over the next few days. 😭

If you've been meaning to visit, now is the time. Come along, explore the Garden and give the gnomes the perfect send-off.

Who remembers Ready Steady Cook?

It felt a little like that today when the gardeners presented Rococo’s chef with the day’s pickings from the Kitchen Garden.

The challenge? Turn this beautiful haul of fresh, garden-grown produce into something delicious for the café. What would you cook?

We can’t wait to see what the chef comes up with! 👨‍🍳🌿

You can visit the café, shop and without garden tickets.
