Our new website

We hope you enjoy our new look website which we have simplified as well as expanded to allow you to understand what happens here at Spetchley.

We are very proud of what we have created at Spetchley and what everyone who works on the Estate has achieved. We consider that we are all members of one very happy and lucky family and want to share what we have created with you.

We hope therefore that this website will help you to understand not only what happens on the Estate to help it survive but also what we have to offer you to help make your visit a pleasure.

The website now offers an easy way to book a visit, your wedding or even look to rent a property or enjoy some of our wonderful Estate produce. We also hope to expand the website in the future so that it can be used as an educational site not only for children but adults as well.

If you would like to offer any comments on the website then please get in touch by us.

Our new family!

We are very pleased to welcome the latest family at Spetchley. Towards the end of the Summer our Peahen hatched some chicks – the first Peacocks to be born at Spetchley for a long time. 

Peacocks used to roam the garden at their leisure but due to predation from foxes we had to move them to an aviary behind the East Border. 

The Peahen came from Gloucestershire and she and the resident peacock have got on very well and now we have three chicks which are looking healthy and strong.

Volunteers wanted - become part of the team

Gardens the size of Spetchley needs plenty of staff to look after the glorious 30 acres of magnificent planting. We have a team of four full time employees but need to bolster their ranks with anyone who wishes to volunteer.

We have been very lucky to have some wonderful volunteers over the years but if you wish to help out to increase your own plant knowledge, help tend to the vegetables or simply to help keep this hidden gem open for visitors to enjoy, then please do get in touch by contacting us.
