Visitors follow a pathway through the gardens where they encounter towering prehistoric creatures nestled among the foliage, creating a sense of stepping into a lost world. Interactive activity tents along the route offer educational opportunities about the dinosaurs. Tickets cost £6.95 for children and £7.95 for ages 16 and over, with under-twos and carers admitted free. Booking is available online.
Family-Friendly Adventure
Matthew Bent, managing director at Bents Garden & Home, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome these incredible dinosaurs to our Hidden Garden this summer. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring something truly special to families during the school holidays. The hidden nature of our garden makes it the perfect setting for a prehistoric adventure, and we can’t wait for visitors to explore and discover what’s lurking along the trail.”
The experience combines outdoor exploration with imaginative play in a safe environment, designed to appeal to both children and adults. Additional summer activities at the garden centre include a Summer Paper Lantern Workshop on July 28 and a Children's Print Making Workshop on August 4, both bookable online.
