More volunteers have been put onto the rota for when our sets finish so there shouldn’t be such a queue this year!

CASH ONLY PLEASE.

For your convenience 🤣

There are two toilets in the classroom (the one outside is wheelchair access). In the old glasshouse block there are another two toilets from a bygone age 😧 Currently we’re acquiring Izal toilet paper and carbolic soap to enhance the historic experience 🤣

Happily there will be some Portaloos this time!! 🥳

Finally, please be aware of the many trip hazards especially when entering the glasshouses.

The Friends of Thwaite Gardens are so delighted we’ll be there for the 6th year.

Thank you so much you lovely people 🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵
