Kilver Court

It’s been just over a week since our renovation work began 🧰

So far, we’ve lifted the courtyard ground to make way for new paving. Progress is also on track in the ballroom and coffee shop, with both spaces beginning to take shape.

The garden and coffee shop will stay closed for a few more weeks, but our resident shops, including TOAST, Mulberry, and Yves Delorme, remain open. Check our website for their individual opening times.

We can't wait for you to see the end results!

Thank you for your continued support,
The Kilver Court team 🌼

It’s not the usual pretty picture that we post on our social media channels, but we’re so excited that the renovation work has started! 🧱

Here the team are digging up the courtyard seating area. We can’t wait for you to see our beautiful plans come to life.

This means Kilver Court garden and cafe is now temporarily closed for the renovation work (12th August - 1st September).

Our shops are staying open, so you can still visit TOAST, Mulberry and Yves Delorme.

Thank you for your understanding,
The Kilver Court Team 🌸

REMINDER: This is your last weekend to visit Kilver Court free before we close for 3 weeks of renovation work 🌸

Here’s what recent visitors have had to say about us:

Stunning Gardens good selection of wildlife and the coffee shop is lovely. Some interesting quirks around the gardens and wonderful views in and around the water features and viaduct.

A hidden gem of a garden, well worth a visit.

Lovely gardens. Currently free as there are renovations. A viaduct in the garden is a great feature.

Fabulous gardens in a wonderful backdrop of the Somerset & Dorset railway arches. Nice cafe.

🚨 Important update 🚨

As many of you know, parts of Kilver Court were flooded during the storms at the beginning of this year.

We now have the opportunity to complete the renovation and repair work on our courtyard seating area, ballroom and coffee shop. This coincides with our current restoration project of the lake (as you can see in these pictures 🦆).

For this reason, we have decided to close everything but retail from Monday 12 August for three weeks 🗓️

This means you will be able to visit TOAST, Mulberry and Yves Delorme but will not be able to access the coffee shop or garden.

We are open every day this week and weekend, 9am - 5pm with free garden entry. So please do stop by for a stroll around the garden, coffee and some retail therapy.

Make sure you’re following our socials for lots of updates and we can’t wait for you to see what we’ve done with the place 🔨

If you are a member, please pop into The Wiggly Shed this week or after we have reopened and we will extend your membership year by three weeks.

Thank you for your understanding,
The Kilver Court Team 🌸

We’re a ‘sit and stop a while’ kind of garden 🌳

Kilver Court is not an active, passing through, vigorous walk sort of garden.

The unexpected benches in secret corners of beauty are there to inspire reflection.

Sit down and most importantly, sit with yourself. These slow moments of contentment can shift your entire day 🌻

New in at - their between seasons collection 🤍

Chalky hues, easy silhouettes and loosely arranged botanical prints, a collection rooted in the natural world.

Here, members of the TOAST team, Lou and Georgia, are wearing a selection of the new arrivals.

Explore the collection when you visit us, open daily.

The incredible gardens offer endless inspiration and trends to explore.

One trend we have really enjoyed is seeing plenty of orange hues; providing drama and warmth in a natural and beautiful way 🧡

Here are some beautiful orange tones from our own garden. Like the Chelsea Flower Show, we hope you find inspiration when you visit us 🪴
