Painswick Rococo Garden

Painswick Rococo Garden Designed in the 1740s as a pleasure garden for holding intimate garden parties, this hidden valley is now the country's only surviving complete rococo garden.

Painswick Rococo Garden is set in a hidden Cotswold valley and dates from Georgian times. Over the last 30 years it has been restored to its original layout as depicted in a painting dated 1748. The Garden now allows you to step back into the sensual early 18th century, when gardens were becoming theatrical and romantic backdrops for entertaining guests. During the Rococo period, home owners compe

ted amongst themselves to create flamboyant designs and sought to visually surprise their visitors with architecture and vistas rather than the horticultural unusual. Here at Painswick, contemporary follies nestle next to dramatic views and woodland walks. We are particularly proud of our large kitchen garden which was created right in the middle of the original design layout. We grow many forms of heritage fruit and vegetables. The Garden can also offer an unusual and romantic setting for civil weddings and partnership ceremonies. Our cafe serves hot and cold drinks and a delicious range of cakes and ice-creams. We have a free car park and dogs are welcome in the grounds on leads.
