Beautiful blooms in an award-winning garden and a popular art gallery are just two good reasons to visit Marle Place Gardens.

Acclaimed potter Tony Benham is exhibiting in the gallery at Brenchley, near Paddock Wood, from Good Friday until Tuesday, April 14.

Privately owned, Marle Place has won many awards over the years. The gardens were first created in 1890 and feature more than 10 acres of formal and informal planting, encircled by woodland and orchards.

There is always an exhibition to see in the gallery, a varied series of shows by contemporary painters, sculptors, potters and makers with work on display and for sale throughout the season.

Art courses for adults and children are held regularly within the gardens. The gardens and gallery will be open from Good Friday until Sunday, September 13.

Open daily from 11am to 5pm except Thursdays and Saturday, July 18 and Saturday, August 29.

Admission costs £6.50 for adults and £4 for children under 12.
