A reminder that Branches Cafe and Parklea Branching Out will be open some of this Easter weekend:
Good Friday & Easter Saturday 10am-2pm only
CLOSED EASTER SUNDAY & MONDAY
Re-opening Tues 22nd April 2025

A reminder that we are open this Easter holiday weekend FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY 10AM-2PM 🐰🐣🪴🌼
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
🚗 The gates to the small car park you normally come in through will be closed, but don't panic! Drive past us right down to the main public car park at the waters edge and come into the site through our new main entrance, by Branches cafe.
There is lots & lots of public parking there, including disabled bays, which will help with congestion around the front gates. We have outgrown that little car park, and cars needing to park on the street was becoming an accident risk.
Open 10AM-2PM Good Friday & Easter Saturday
Closed Easter Sunday & Monday

Branches Café and Parklea Branching Out are open this Good Friday & Easter Saturday 10am-2pm each day! 🐣
Branches Café is also open 10am-2pm with a reduced menu of refreshments & cakes as we will have less staff on duty, but do come in for a cuppa!
Parklea have an excellent range of shrubs & perennials as well as herbs, alpines, and more!
Summer annuals have been growing on well in this sunshine, and are available to buy, but it's only recommended to do so if you have a greenhouse, as it is still far too early for these tender plants to be out in the ground. 🥶
As it's the Easter holidays, we also have a LIMITED number of children's activity kits to give away each day. 🐣 When they're gone, they're gone!
**When you come down at the weekend, the gates you normally would come in through will be closed. But don't panic! Drive past PBO to the big main car park down at the water and come in through the new entrance by the cafe. If you need them, there are disabled parking bays right by the new gates.**

Dare we say it, looks like spring is on its way! If you're popping in for a cuppa or a bite to eat, why not take a look at our new retail space. Its just opposite the cafe where we have a great selection of potted spring bulbs ready to be planted out to give your garden that pop of spring colour.
