Guided Tours

We love to welcome your group or club for a guided tour of Hunting Brook Gardens.

When open our gardens are perfect for tour groups, gardening clubs and horticultural students.

Group bookings are priced at €15 per person for a guided tour based on a minimum of 12 people. If your group is less than 12 people, the total cost of the tour is €180.

Please note the ideal time for coaches to arrive is between 9am and 11am, before the car park opens to the public.

If you’d like to arrange a group tour, please enquire and we’ll get back to you.

We look forward to seeing you.
