city of Worcester and surrounded by glorious countryside, lies one of Britain’s best kept secrets.

Within the landscape is one of the most beautiful and important 19th century gardens in the Country and it’s right on your doorstep.

comes at a cost and therefore they are embarking on capital works project to revive some of the features as well as make the gardens, parkland and history more accessible to those who wish to enjoy it. The project is called the Spetchley Revival and is aimed specifically at creating an educational resource centre housing a museum of the Berkeley archive and a place for learning aimed at children and adult groups; it will focus on rejuvenating the Park and Garden pools and the Horse Pond and it will create a new entrance to the garden with a car park that will allow better access to the garden and wider parkland. This is a large project which will cost £1.4m and to achieve this they will seek both internal and external funding with the project spanning between three and seven years.
