The gardens are lovely to walk around on a nice day. The small Italian garden borders were planted with tulips and was very colourful. The paths are well marked and it was lovely to walk among the different shrubs and trees with a few statues dotted around. There was a golf buggy type vehicle which transported people around if they... More

Recently visited Wrest Park, had to view the House and Orangey before 1pm because they were to be used for a private function. Had lunch which was more than adequate and not expensive. We then decided to take a stroll around the estate garden, we were advised that there were 6 seater buggies available driven by volunteers who were very... More

a Beautiful House, with some lovely grounds, 97 acres, with some lovely walks around, and great photo opportunities for the budding photographer! The Tulips were out in the Italian Gardens. They have Toilets around, and a Cafeteria that gets packed quick During meal times! It's about £8 to get in, If you work for Royal Mail, show your I.D Badge... More

We have been to Wrest Park run by English Herritage for many years now and, with the help of the lottery fund, are 2 years into a 20 year restoration programme. It was always a wonderful place to visit but now they have made it really special. The grounds are superb. Take your time and walk slowly and take in... More

We went for the St Georges day festival and really enjoyed ourselves. The gardens and the house are lovely. There is a small play area for the children but not much in it. If it wasn't for the festival i think children may get a bit bored. As members of English heratage typically we would not have to pay for... More

My partner and I visited Wrest Park during the St.George's day festival in April and this review is based more around the event rather than the park as a whole. I wanted to say that English Heritage did a fantastic job with the day and ensuring that their was a fully-packed events list ranging from Roman formations and Medieval jousting... More

The house and gardens cannot be faulted, but the cafe staff need a rocket under them. Service is S-L-O-W, very slow. We ordered 4 cream teas. We were handed the tea, then had to go backwards in the queue to find our own scones and jam. The cream was rock hard and unspreadable and had obviously come straight out of... More

We visited on Easter Tuesday on a cold but sunny day. It was fairly quiet when we arrived but soon got busy with many families enjoying the play park. The first view of the House is very impressive and we were certainly not disappointed when we went inside. The displays are very well done and there are "games" for children... More
