Open Days
Cadhay open afternoons
Cadhay is open to the public every Friday from 5th May to 29th September 2023, 2-5pm as well as the Saturday, Sunday and Monday 27th to 29th May and 26th to 28th August at the same times (apart from Saturday 27th May and 26th August where times may vary due to the running of charity events). No need to book ahead unless you have a large group in which case you are very welcome but please contact us to arrange a time to accommodate you.
During our guided tours visitors are shown much of the inside of the House, including the Long Gallery and Roof chamber and are given a brief history of the House and the families that have lived there. Tours last about an hour.
Visitors are also welcome to wander around the gardens which feature mediaeval fish ponds. After farm buildings on the south side of the house were demolished in 1910, a border was established and a lawn was laid out and planted with Irish yews leading to the fish ponds. Plants of note include an avenue of limes, Gunnera manicata, Cotinus coggygnia, Cosmea bipinnatus, Magnolia grandiflora, Dahlia hybrids and Echinacea purpurea.
Behind the house, the walled kitchen gardens have been given over to allotments. A magnificent display of homegrown vegetables, wigwams of sweet peas, gladioli or glorious dahlias can be seen.
The Tea Room, offering delicious homemade cakes and drinks, is open at the same time as the House and garden. There is seating on the terrace situated in the walled kitchen garden or in the Tearoom itself.

Entrance to gardens only– £5 adults, £1 children (over 5yrs). HHA members – Free with membership card. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the gardens or on the tearoom terrace.
