The weather has been pretty shh…. er… shocking ever since and this week has frustratingly followed in the same way.

Thankfully the weekend and next week ARE looking pretty promising – certainly drier and the sun is due to make appearances – and that can mean only one thing: Spring Colour.

The Garden Centre is alive with vibrant, beautiful and uplifting colours right now and customer Lesley Spokes wrote on our Facebook page “Went yesterday and the plants looked absolutely stunning. The new extended restaurant is great too, we had a really nice lunch.”

With so much to see – with the best value for miles around, we’d love to invite you to see for yourself this weekend.

Mmmmm talking of food, our Canalside restaurant have been extra busy this week in photographing a number of delightful dishes. From brilliant breakfasts, mouth-watering main meals to absolutely adorable Afternoon Tea they have all been snapped. What do you think?

It has been really great to see so many families over the Easter break, many taking part in our Easter Egg hunt, visiting the animals for one of our (rather popular and such fun) animals cuddle days, or bringing their own four-legged furry friends for our Doggy Brunch or for a trip out.

We love to see everything – just perhaps time to lay off the rain, for now.

See you and your rays of sunshine soon

You are royally invited Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September to Whilton Locks Garden Village. It’s our little way to say thank you.

We are here to look after all of you who are bearing up with the very sad recent news.

We’d love to welcome as many of you as possible whether you are from Whilton, derive from Daventry, live in Long Buckby, hail from Harpole – or even deepest darkest Peru!

Oh and don’t forget to keep a marmalade sandwich under your hat in case of emergency!

Spend an afternoon with friends at Whilton Locks Garden Village and indulge yourself with an Afternoon Tea.

Enjoy a floral demonstration using real seasonal flowers and foliage, whilst listening to a lively talk with Chris Littlewood, covering the history of the Christmas tree and Father Christmas, the history of our traditional Christmas fayre, the meaning of evergreens and so much more.

Christine Littlewood (Chris) is an accomplished horticulturist with a wealth of knowledge. She established Bliss Lane Nursery in the late 1980s when her family at Meadow Farm gave up their dairy business, where Chris was in charge of milking the cows.

The nursery has a fantastic reputation and has since expanded to include a thriving floristry business and a farm shop selling local produce.

At the end of the demonstration there will be an opportunity to win one of the arrangements.

It’s the perfect event to start the new month and really share the Christmas spirit.
LIMITED SPACES. Book now!

“Merlin’s Beard!” exclaimed Harry, “Not only are Whilton Locks Garden Village offering an Afternoon Potter Tea…”
“with sandwiches and cakes”, Ron interrupted.
“What?” said Harry.
“Afternoon Tea” Hermione reassured the friends “…it’s bookable now online and there’s a chance to win a FREE pair of tickets for anyone who likes and shares this post.”
“Anyone?” Harry queried.
“Anyone with a Facebook account and is available during half term” said Hermione.
“Not Voldemort though.” said Ron “Don’t want him there”
“No, not Voldemort,” said Harry, “he unfollowed me after book one.”

It’s Afternoon Royal-Tea for one – and one’s acquaintance for just £20, with additional guests available to join in the celebrations for £10 each. Fit for the finest, the Whilton Locks Afternoon Royal-Tea is a scrumptious selection of cakes, sandwiches, scones (with cream and jam) with Tea (or Coffee).

With more sparkle than Markle, this delightful occasion is just for those who didn’t quite get an invitation to the wedding at Windsor. Lets celebrate at Whilton instead of Windsor!

Tickets are selling fast so book online, today!

We loved this comment from Trevor and had to include it on the WLGV website:
