点评:We went as a family of five as my husband loves his gardening, but the main draw to the place for him was an event called 'buzzfest'. We paid £60 for all five of us to go - as we are beekeepers so were expecting all things beekeeping related. What a disappointment!!, buzzfest seemed to just comprise of a stall where a woman was trying to sell things with pictures of bees on and another stand where you could sign up for visit to an apiary which was round the back of the gardens. We did this and had a 15 minute talk from a beekeeper, who obviously knew his stuff, but then so did my children. My 12 year old already knew everything and more that the man said. We feel the event should have been better described as a beginners talk about beekeeping. The staff making pizzas also need to understand that there may be a rush of people around lunchtime that would like to pay to enjoy lunch. We abandoned all hope of trying to sample a wood fired pizza when we watched the woman doing them take 10 minutes to make one pizza, another 10 to cook it and then saw that she had 8 orders already waiting to be made!
The gardens were lovely, although we did get the impression that we could have just as easily rocked up without prepaying as no-one checked to see we had any tickets at any time.

花园很漂亮,虽然我们觉得我们完全可以不用预付钱就直接进去,因为从来没有人检查我们有没有票。
