HOUGHTON HALL GARDEN CENTRE

Home Delivery
We have been asked by many customers if we are offering a delivery service. After careful consideration, we have made the decision not to offer a home delivery or click and collect service at this time.

This may be disappointing for those of you keen to get working in the garden, but the safety of our team and customers is our main priority and we don’t want to put anybody at risk.

A small team at the centre are currently looking after our plant stock, with essential watering, feeding and health checks, ready for when we are able to reopen.

Houghton Hall is the flagship of our company and is no ordinary store. Spread over 3 levels, with a main level home to core gardening, gift shop, clothing, the Topiary Restaurant, Cafe Eden and the Eden Food Hall and Butchers; a second floor mezzanine displaying garden furniture and outdoor living and a basement level housing the World in Miniature Museum and the Craft Shop.

The outdoor plant area has been created from the original walled kitchen garden of Houghton Hall and is the perfect setting for choosing plants.

We offer a FIVE YEAR Plant Guarantee on all our hardy nursery plants. We pride ourselves on the excellent quality of our garden plants. If one of our hardy plants dies, return the plant to us, along with your receipt within five years of purchase. We will be happy to replace it or refund you.

The Eden Food Hall offers the finest quality local and regional foods as well as an onsite Butcher with a local reputation for delicious traditional prepared meats and quality service.

Produce from the Food Hall can be tasted within the Topiary Restaurant, our renowned fresh cream cakes are the only way to finish off your visit.

Situated next to our Food Hall is our new Cafe Eden. This modern coffee bar offers a wide selection of drinks, homebaking, sweet treats and snacks, ideal if you wish to sit in or take away.

The garden centre is situated in a very accessible location off Junction 44 of the M6, on the edge of the border city of Carlisle. A regular bus service from Carlisle city centre to Houghton Hall operates daily.

We have a electric charge point which can charge up your electric or hybrid car (Charge Point Scotland.)
