Weston Park, the magnificent 17th Century stately home that is set within over 1000 acres of parkland, incorporating formal gardens, enchanting woodland, idyllic lakes and follies.

Weston Park holds a number of events throughout the year. Perhaps the most famous is the 'V' pop festival, but there's also Opera and Proms that should suit every musical taste. Apart from musical events there's the Festival of Transport that brings in hundreds of vintage and Classic cars, bikes and lorries as well as many visitors.

Weston House with its collections of fine paintings, tapestries, porcelain and furniture is an incredible focal point of the park and tours of the building, as well as function facilities are available. Within the Parks grounds you'll find an Adventure playground and miniature railway, which is ideal to entertain children of all ages. For the adults there's the Stables Bar and Restaurant, auditorium, gift shop and much, much more, proving Weston Park really can provide an abundance of delights for everyone.

Details

Things to do: The grounds of Weston Park combine 1,000 acres of natural beauty with three centuries of garden design. Close to the house are formal terraces that retain the style and feel of the previous 1930's gardens. Another favourite of many visitors is a walk around the Broderie Italian Garden that is sunken to allow unspoiled views from the Victorian Orangery. Beyond the formal gardens, explore the delightful Teardrop Garden, Rose Walk, Victorian Conservatory and the Church of St Andrew. Journey further still with walks through 'Capability' Brown's Pleasure Grounds to the Medieval Deer Park and Temple Wood. Or discover the wonderful 1770 James Paine bridge that takes you over Temple Pool.
Getting There: Weston Park is situated on the A5 at Weston-under-Lizard, just 30 minutes from Central Birmingham 3 miles off M54, Junction 3 & 8 miles off M6 Junction 12.
