Bishop’s Gardens

One of Norwich's hidden secrets, the Bishop's Garden occupies 4 acres in the city centre.

About the Gardens

The Bishop of Norwich's historic private gardens are full of delights such as herbaceous borders, a small woodland walk, bee hives and more.

The gardens have won many awards over the years and featured in many magazines and newspapers.

The Bishop of Norwich invites you to join him on Saturdays 13, 20 June and Sunday 5 July to enjoy the Gardens and raise money for the Lent Appeal.

There has been a garden of sorts since around 1100 AD when Bishop de Losinga began to build the cathedral and palace.

Dates and times the Bishop's Gardens are open during 2020.
