Ness Gardens

Ness Botanic Gardens is a beautiful 64 acre garden situated on the Dee Estuary in South Wirral. Its illustrious history is linked to the wealth, philanthropy and passion for plant-hunting of its creator AK Bulley.

From the start, Bulley shared his garden with his neighbours, and today’s visitors too are free to move around its relaxed and informal layout without restriction - so a visit to Ness feels more like strolling round the extensive grounds of a wealthy friend than a trip to a university botanic garden! The wealth of different areas within the Gardens – deciduous woodlands, wildflower meadows, stunning herbaceous borders, a delightful potager, orchard, rock garden, terraces, water gardens, specimen lawns, pine wood – give Ness genuine year-round interest.

During February the snowdrop collections carpets the Gardens, attracting visitors from far afield to see over 60 varieties. In March it is the turn of the Crocus Lawn to star, early pale yellow narcissi peppering drifts of hundreds of thousands of pale purple crocus. In spring the visitors flock to see the thousands of flowering trees and shrubs at their peak right across the Gardens and particularly in the Water Gardens and Rock Garden.

During high summer the Gardens are simply superb. Then with the onset of autumn, the changing colours of the leaves set the Garden views ablaze.

The Gardens have twice been the venue for BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time annual Summer Garden Party – attracting record audiences of thousands on both occasions and turning what was a niche occasion into a flagship event.

Ness has wheelchair-friendly paths throughout the Gardens (and free loan of wheelchairs and motorised scooters), refreshments and toilets available in the Gardens as well as in the large Visitor Centre, plenty of seating in every area and free plant and tree trails to follow.

Ness Botanic Gardens in South Wirral is not just a gardeners’ garden - it is a garden with very wide appeal which offers an unforgettable day out.

Ness Gardens not only have fantastic gardens and an amazing plant collection but also have regular concerts and events. Further details can be found on www.nessgardens.org.uk

Ness Gardens can offer you a perfect 'outdoor' venue for the Wedding Ceremony, providing an ideal setting for creating those perfect photographic memories to treasure.

National B&B Week 2019 - 18th-24th March 2019

Did you know that there are over 20,000 B&Bs in the UK, and that they generate over £2 billion annually to the UK economy? This is something that we think is worth celebrating, that’s why we are participating in National B&B Week 2019!

Mere Brook House has recently celebrated it's 10 year anniversary, and in this past year alone we have hosted countless weddings, celebrations and business meetings and welcomed hundreds of guests, including The Great British Bake Offs Prue Leith. We have also opened our doors to a BBC film crew, who used the house to film a 90 minute drama named "Care" which starred Sheridan Smith and Alison Steadman. 

In October 2017 the Mayor of Wirral unveiled a blue plaque in recognition of the incredible Ann Davison, the first female to sail the Atlantic single handed. Ann lived at Mere Brook for four years and the house features in one of her books – in fact she refers to living at Mere Brook as some of her happiest times.

Over the past 10 years we have been honoured to win numerous awards including Bed & Breakfast of the Year and The Independent Business Award at the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2017 and after taking a year out we are delighted to be shortlisted at The Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2019 in two categories, Hotel of the Year and Independent Tourism Business of the Year. In 2015 we were shortlisted for The National Tourism awards run by Visit England in the bed and breakfast category. Last year we were also awarded a Special Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor to celebrate 5 years of consistently excellent reviews! 

So from the 18th to the 24th of March 2019 I hope you will join us in applauding all the great things that independent hoteliers contribute to the hospitality industry!

Wirral Borough of Culture 2019

BE PART OF WIRRAL'S BOROUGH OF CULTURE YEAR

logo


I hope you are all aware by now that Wirral is the Borough of Culture for the Liverpool City Region in 2019. This is a relatively new initiative where the spotlight will be put on a different borough of the region each year highlighting existing and new cultural events. St Helens was the first borough in 2018 to lead the way and this year is Wirral's turn.

I am delighted by the amazing programme of events, many of which are new, that are planned for 2019 some of which are listed below - and how amazing it is that Tour of Britain cycle race have also chosen Wirral to be involved in their internationally renowned race.

2019 gives us a real opportunity to showcase Wirral to visitors and put this wonderful place on the map.

There will be many ways that those businesses and organisations involved in offering services and facilities to visitors can get involved and a meeting will be arranged in early March when more of the practical and operational details can be shared which I urge you to attend.

Lorna Tyson,
Chair of Wirral Visitor Economy Network

The first event is 'Animated Square' in Hamilton Square on Saturday 23rd March, for more information see here.
