GROUPS & COACHES

We are open for  bookings. Please find booking form below.

Ventnor Botanic Garden is an ideal coach party destination, with ample parking available for large vehicles. Come rain or shine, Ventnor Botanic Garden is a great place to visit!

When the sun is shining visitors can walk the Gardens at their leisure and enjoy the colourful flowers in bloom. Visitors can sit back and soak up the sun whilst enjoying lunch, a refreshing drink or even an ice cream.

In inclement weather, visitors can spend time looking at the regular displays and art exhibitions taking place or they can puruse our extensive gift shop. Warm up in either of our Café with a hot cup of tea or coffee, or they can step into The Temperate House; this hot and humid glass house is a living representation of nature’s fight back against the ravages of man and industry. Complete with waterfall and large pond that grows Giant Waterlilies in the summer months, our Temperate House will transport visitors to a rain forest paradise on even the coldest of days.

Ventnor is a warn, sunny town getting the most amount of sunshine hours within the UK. Where else can you stroll through Australia, the Mediterranean and South Africa – all in one day!

From stunning scenery, wall lizards and guided tours of the garden, a secret tunnel, and the Victorian Heritage Centre exhibition to discovering Giant Amazonian Waterlilies, the Temperate House & Hub, rare plants and seeds, garden produce and gifts in our garden gift shop and Botanic Ale and hop-yard!

The Plantation Room Café
With easy access from the Coach drop off point, The Plantation Room Café serves a delicious selection of tea and barista coffee coupled with delightful cakes & light lunches throughout the year. Overlooking the beautifully serene and historic Palm Garden, The Plantation Room Café Terrace is the perfect place to sit out and enjoy the tranquillity of the sub-tropical vistas, whilst making the most of the weather. Not to forget our ever popular cream teas!
