Opening on Saturday, June 21st at Mayfield’s Epsom site, also home to the popular Glasshouse Café and Gift & Plant Shop, the Secret Lavender Garden offers a beautiful, immersive, and intimate experience, welcoming approximately 40 guests per timed session in the mornings and 60 in the afternoons. Under an hour from London, this secluded gem features rows of fragrant lavender, an apple orchard, over 500 fruit trees, and visits from local wildlife, including grazing horses. A tall, tree-lined avenue leads guests to a second hidden lavender field. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views and a tranquil countryside scene (with the skyline of London visible on the horizon), capture photographs and Instagram moments, including at Mayfield’s second signature red telephone box, and make precious memories.
Guests can bring a picnic blanket or sit at one of the garden’s tables to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. They can bring their own food or pre-order one of Mayfield’s handcrafted pick-up hampers filled with tasty treats (there are also picnic boxes for little ones). For those wishing to extend their visit, the on-site Glasshouse Café offers a delicious menu – including lavender-inspired food and drinks - perfect for enjoying before or after the secret garden session. From the 5th of July, the Secret Lavender Garden will also offer ‘sunset special’ slots for exceptional golden-hour views.
