We’ve got some BIG little news at The Alnwick Garden, and it comes with pedals!
Thanks to the amazing generosity of our partners, W.L Straughan & Son, we’re welcoming a brand new fleet of mini tractors to The Garden. These pint sized bundles of fun are ready to roll, and we couldn’t be more excited to put them to play, not so much work, around our grounds. This kind sponsorship means the world to us, not only are these mini tractors great in spreading message of sustainability and our links with rural agriculture, but they also bring a whole heap of fun for our younger visitors. It’s another step in making The Alnwick Garden a place where nature, imagination, and community come together. And speaking of fun…
Join us for Tractor and Truck Day on Friday 25th July!
We’re celebrating in style with Tractor and Truck Day on Friday 25th July, at The Alnwick Garden. Come along for a day full of engine themed excitement, family friendly activities, and a chance to see the new mini tractors in action.
