EVERY Thursday from today (July 23) Dyffryn Gardens will keep their doors open until 8pm, with last entry at 7.30pm.

Escape from city life and spend a few hours after work surrounded by roses, grape vines and sunflowers. Dyffryn has 55 acres of formal and informal gardens, enormous lawns, an arboretum, rose garden, kitchen garden and lots of intimate spaces to enjoy.

Kate Simons, visitor experience manager at Dyffryn said “Our late night Thursdays are a new way to experience Dyffryn. We want people to use us instead of their back garden to enjoy the evening sun and relax in our beautiful gardens.”

Dyffryn Gardens will open late every Thursday from now until August 27.
