Bournville Village

Bournville Village is showcasing four gardens. Bournville is famous for its large gardens, outstanding open spaces and of course its chocolate factory in a garden! We have a garden railway amongst bonsai, a traditional Tudor garden in a museum, a large mature cottage style suburban garden and an eco-friendly community garden. Free information sheet/map available on the day. Gardens spread across the 1,000 acre estate, with walks of up to 30 minutes between sites. For those with a disability, full details of access are available on the NGS website. Visitors with particular concerns with regards to access are welcome to call Bournville Village Trust on 0300 333 6540 or email: [email protected] a map will be available to download from www.bvt.org.uk nearer to the date and will be available on the day.
