2022 Plan

This stunning contemporary revival of a historic garden is amongst the very best in the UK. The gardens have been transformed over the last 15 years and are now some of the finest in Britain with the revival being led by multi-Chelsea gold-medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith. The revival of the gardens led the Telegraph newspaper to describe Trentham Gardens as "The garden makeover of the decade" and Trentham has collected an abundance of awards including being awarded a Gold Accolade by Visit England in 2015, 2016 and 2017. A visit here offers a great day out for everyone!

Purchase from a stunning treasure trove of original and affordable designs created by some of the finest craftsmen and artists in the UK. Textiles, paintings, furniture, metal, leather, ceramics, jewellery, glass, fashion and more…
