Big News At Mayfield

December 14, 2023 by Roxane Manley

Come and see the full garden – anytime you like. Come and sleep in the garden – Our Summer Glamping season runs from 27 December to 27 January.

Major changes are afoot at Mayfield Garden with the family deciding that it will now open the full 65-hectare garden every day of the year, commencing 27 December 2023. 

You’ll recall that the full garden – including the private family estate -was previously only open to the public during seasonal festivals, which basically amounted to about 12 weeks per year. 

The family has now come to the conclusion that it makes more sense for visitors who have made the effort to come to Mayfield to be given the opportunity to see every highlight and feature of the garden on any given day of the year. 

It is no longer necessary to time your visit to coincide with our seasonal festivals – every day will seem like a festival! 

Which means you can visit our maze, chapel, stumpery, aviary, garden rooms and other major features anytime you walk through the gate at Mayfield. 

We think it is an exciting milestone in the evolution of Mayfield Garden, and it puts us in synch with other major gardens throughout the world. 

Come and see the full 65-hectare garden any day of the year, starting 27 December. 

Summer Glamping Season Starts 27 December, Come and spend an evening in the garden with a Mayfield Garden Glamping Package. 

The luxury glamping experience allows visitors exclusive late-night and early morning access to the entire garden, and you’ll also enjoy an amazing three-course a la carte dinner at our renowned garden café. 

Guests can choose to have a delicious artisanal breakfast delivered to their tent, or for an extra touch of luxury, have a catered sunrise or sunset picnic. 

The beautifully appointed tents are located by Mayfield’s Obelisk Pond, and are fitted with an authentic natural fibre rug, Queen-size bed, high-grade mattress and linen, and other luxury furniture items.
