Summer in Bloom at Croxteth Hall’s Walled Garden

Croxteth Hall’s Walled Garden, one of Liverpool’s most stunning green spaces, is throwing open its gates this summer for a lively series of events celebrating heritage, creativity, and community spirit.

The historic Walled Garden will come alive with a rich mix of family-friendly performances, hands-on tours, live music, and theatrical twists, all set within its beautifully preserved surroundings.

Restoration of the iconic Peach House is progressing, with hopes to showcase botanical displays to the public by Spring 2026.
