Join us over the Bank Holiday Weekend to enjoy the perfect family day out. Take a stroll around the gardens, enjoy a browse around our shops or tuck into something delicious at our cafés – there’s all sorts of egg-citing things to enjoy this Easter at Doddington.
Don’t miss the transient beauty of cherry blossom and cheery spring blooms this Easter. Our gardens will be open throughout the weekend for you to enjoy a stroll and a spot of hanami (花見, ‘flower viewing’).
Our gardens will be open from Wednesday – Bank Holiday Monday, 10am – 4pm. No pre-booking required, tickets can be purchased on arrival.
The Hall will be open to visitors on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Explore over 400 years of unbroken family history and a fascinating collection of furniture, weaponry, art, textiles and ceramics.
The long weekend is a chance to spend time with family and friends, so why not join us for a delicious afternoon tea?
We will be serving a special Easter Afternoon Tea from Thursday 2 April through to Easter Monday. Book a table in our beautiful Coach House and you can indulge in a selection of themed sandwiches, scones and cakes – all homemade and handcrafted by our expert chefs.
Advance booking required.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend, the Grain Store will be open as usual for breakfast, lunch, drinks and cake.
On Easter Sunday, we will be serving our breakfast until 10.30am, after which we will be putting on a special Sunday roast, with all the trimmings. Booking is highly recommended for both breakfast and lunch.
To help fuel your Easter adventures on the estate, the Hatch will be open from 10am–2pm, Friday – Sunday. You can tuck into a selection of takeaway drinks, light bites and, of course, our famous Doddington cakes.
Our Farm Shop Café will be open as usual over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend.
Start your day with our delicious breakfast, join us for lunch or just pop in for a cuppa and some cake. We’ll be cooking up all of your Doddington favourites, as well as a special lamb roast – served with dauphinoise potatoes and a selection of seasonal veg (including the first asparagus of the season!)
Please note that we do not take reservations for the Farm Shop Café – tables are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
If you want to pick up some fresh produce for your own roast, delicious treats for tea or some last-minute Easter eggs, our Farm Shop will be open as normal on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Monday.
Due to trading laws, the Farm Shop won’t be open on Easter Sunday.
