Winterbourne House and Garden

About

Winterbourne House and Garden, a jewel of Birmingham, marries the splendour of an Edwardian Arts & Crafts mansion with a sprawling seven‑acre botanic garden. Open to the public year‑round, the site offers visitors the chance to wander through beautifully themed gardens—walled, wisteria‑laden, Japanese bridge and tea house, and glasshouses brimming with orchids and carnivorous plants—while being immersed in the history of the house’s original owners and their passion for horticulture. Inside, the house’s richly decorated rooms are retained close to their original state, and a regular programme of craft and print workshops, talks and exhibits keeps the experience fresh for repeat visitors. A charming tea room, gift shop, second‑hand bookshop and working printing press, open daily, add a delightful layer of hospitality and educational intrigue. As a university‑owned heritage site, Winterbourne is accessible to the public for a small fee, while staff and students at the University of Birmingham enjoy free admission.
