Late spring delights include bearded iris and early roses. Visit the studio of Artist in Residence Heather Hunter to discover her Artist's books and prints.

PARKING:

We are located in the historic centre of Haddenham, on a narrow residential road. There is free, but extremely limited on-street parking on Townside and surrounding roads.

If you are able, please park elsewhere in the village and enjoy walking through Haddenham to visit us. Please park on wider roads and keep clear of driveways - thank you!

Haddenham village hall has kindly offered use of their car park to our visitors (30 parking spaces - 7 minutes’ walk, signposted on the day):
