REVISITING RHS BRIDGWATER: JULY 8TH 2026
Once the site of the Egerton mansion, Worsley New Hall, the RHS began developing this derelict land in 2017. W. A. Nesfield had been the garden designer for the Egertons, and the remnants of his work are still encompassed in the modern design. The landscape artist, Tom Stuart Smith was chosen by the RHS to mastermind the scheme. It was opened in 2021.
We visited shortly after its opening when it was a work in progress. We are now going again to see how it is developing. Those of you who did not participate in this first visit are in for a gardening treat.
We will leave Handbridge at 9.30, Chester Railway Station at 9.35 and Boughton at 9.40 on Wednesday July 8th, 2026. We will return at approximately 5.15pm.
The cost includes coach and entrance for non-members. It will be £25 for RHS members and £40 for non-RHS members. You will need your RHS card for entry. Food is not included but light lunches and snacks are available in several cafes and there are many pleasant picnic areas, if you wish to bring your own.
You will be informed by June 12th as to whether you have a place on this visit.
