Overview

Join River Cottage Head Gardener Jonny Callis and draw inspiration from the produce and gardening methods used by our team at the smallholding. Enjoy a seasonal cocktail and a delicious savory snack to enhance your visit, and take a guided tour of our famous walled Kitchen Garden and productive Market Garden with Jonny and the team.

At River Cottage, we believe that growing your own vegetables can transform your life. In an age of intensive farming and reliance on harmful pesticides, it’s essential to depend on our own patches of safe soil. If you’re inspired to turn your patio, garden, or allotment into a productive vegetable plot, consider joining one of our River Cottage garden courses!

Under 5s can attend free of charge, while all other attendees will need a paid ticket.

“Very well run event from the welcome to close . Great scenery , food wonderful and all of the team we encountered was a credit to the organisation . Would love to experience a another course in the future . My husband I had a memorable visit.”  Suzanne, May 2023

Arrive at River Cottage

You’ll begin your River Cottage experience with a 10-15 minute walk through the pathways down to the farm, enabling you to really soak up the views of the valley.

Make yourself at home

Meet our Head Gardener Jonny Callis who will talk you through your visit over a welcome drink.

Tour
