Japanese Discovery Weekend

Join us for a sensational weekend celebrating Japanese culture

Discover the intricate art of Bonsai and Ikebana and the striking technique of martial arts, including Aikido and Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido. Learn more about Japanese mindfulness using Shinrin Yoku, known as forest bathing or taking in the forest through your senses, plus the opportunity to come and try Reiki.

Listen out for the rhythmic sound of the Taiko drummers while ambling around the garden. There will also be the chance to come and make your own Marimo Pets, which will be on a first-come-first-serve basis, as numbers are limited.

Why not make the most of your visit and experience the garden in all its spring glory, which is alive with cherry blossom at this time of year.
