Welcome to the beautiful sanctuary of Painswick Rococo Gardens - the only complete surviving rococo garden in the UK. 

Painswick Rococo Garden is truly for everyone, we welcome all ages, cater for families and we LOVE your four-legged friends.

Come and admire these stunning gardens as they change and develop throughout the seasons, from the blankets of snowdrops offering us the first signs of Spring, the full blooms and plump trees of Summer, through to the warm rich autumnal hues as we wrap up warm and celebrate the cosiness of Winter. 

For families, the freedom to explore with the children, letting them run free and enjoy nature is what we are all about. How can you not be entertained when we have all this to offer: 

• The amazing maze
• Seasonal school holiday trails 
• The rustic play area 
• The fairy castle 
• The quirky follies
• Our family-friendly café

Reviews from other families:
"Rococo Garden in Painswick is pure magic. From the moment you step through the gates, you’re transported into a whimsical world of vibrant flowers, elegant follies, and peaceful woodland paths. The garden is beautifully maintained, with surprises around every corner—from the charming Red House to the playful maze and serene kitchen garden. It’s a perfect blend of history, horticulture, and romance.
We visited on a sunny afternoon and spent hours wandering, taking photos, and soaking in the atmosphere. The café serves delicious treats with friendly service, and the setting couldn’t be more picturesque. You can really feel the love and care that goes into this special place.
Whether you’re a garden lover, a history enthusiast, or just seeking a peaceful escape, Rococo Garden is a must-visit. Can’t wait to return in another season!"
