WELCOME.
Hello & Welcome to Conkers!
The Garden Centre is fully open, with masks optional and hand sanitizer at the entrance for the time being.
The River Bank Tea Room is open as normal from 9.15am - 4pm from Monday - Saturday and 10am - 4pm on Sunday.
The Dog Cafe was a pop up in 2019 but sadly was not a success, so has closed permanently. Sadly there have been too many unreported incidents of dogs messing, so the decision was made in 2020 to no longer allow dogs in. Sorry for any upset this might cause but it was becoming a problem.
