Due to the yellow weather warning, the Chinese Streamside Garden, Middle Wood and Woodland Play will be closed today, Saturday 21 December. The Walled Garden, Welcome Garden, Bridgewater Café and Garden Centre remain open as usual, and RHS Glow will go ahead with a diverted route to avoid affected areas. Please check back for updates.
