Free entry for under 16s this Easter holiday – and it’s not just for the weekend

Families looking for a spring day out will be glad to hear that Caerhays Castle Gardens is offering free entry to children this Easter – and it’s not just for the bank holiday weekend. From Saturday 5th April to Monday 21st April (inclusive), all children aged 16 or under can visit the gardens for free when accompanied by a paying adult.

Tickets can be booked online or bought on arrival.

A Garden Full of History and Colour

Known for its world-famous National Magnolia Collection, Caerhays Castle & Spring Garden is internationally recognised for its camellias and rhododendrons. The gardens are in full bloom throughout the spring season and offer a spectacular backdrop of natural beauty and rare plants.

The estate also features the striking Caerhays Castle, designed by architect John Nash around 200 years ago. Visitors can explore both the castle and the gardens during the open season, taking in the coastal path and nearby beaches that form part of the estate.

This location is not only steeped in history but is also popular for weddings, photography, and even film shoots.
