Happenings at THE PIG-at Bridge Place
Free Kitchen Garden Tours at THE PIGs
Join us on a PIG Kitchen Garden tour this spring
Every day this April, at 11am, our gardeners will be hosting a free Kitchen Garden tour across all our PIGs*. You don’t need to be staying with us to enjoy our Kitchen Garden tours (but we always love having you to sleep over!). It’s a great reason to make the most of the start of sunny afternoons and stay for a delicious piggy lunch afterwards!
