GENERAL INFORMATION All Hunter's Garden Marlborough visits are organised group tours and visitors are transported by coach. Private vehicles are not permitted entry
to the gardens included in the event. The cost of coach travel is included in your ticket price as is the cost of morning, afternoon teas and lunch. Unless otherwise specified wine will be an extra cost. Each tour comprises between two to six coaches and seats are not allocated. If you wish to travel in a group, simply queue together. We strongly recommend you arrive early as fitting a group onto one bus may be difficult late in the queue, particularly if the tour is heavily booked. Wherever possible only one coach will visit a garden at a time. Our volunteers will be there to assist you on embarkation as will couriers on your tour. Wear suitable shoes and dress comfortably including a sun hat. Bring something warm just in case, and yes it does rain occasionally in Marlborough, so be prepared with a waterproof jacket or umbrella. Do remember to take them with you at the end of the day.
