A lovely place to spend an afternoon when the weather's good. We took our baby and found the gardens very pram-friendly. There were visitors in wheelchairs too, so definitely very accessible. The gardens are not massive, but big enough for a full afternoon. There's a large lawn area, perfect for picnics. Children seemed to love running about in the gardens,... More

I called in at Winterbourne on my way home from a conference with time to spare before my booked train. My visited lasted two and a half hours. The whole experience was a delight - friendly helpful staff, interesting and well displayed house (ground floor only), with original experiential access to the lives of the former occupants of the house....

My husband found details when looking on Birmingham University's website for something else. As we live less than an hour away, we decided to see what it was like. Entrance fee was modest and meant the visit was good value for money. Plenty of parking in the vicinity - it's right next to the University who owns this Arts and... More

There is an outside dining area, which is delightful when the weather permits. Admission fees are modest, and there is no charge for staff and students of the University of Birmingham, which owns...

Working near to Winterbourne Gardens, I recently decided to make best use of this faciltiy at lunchtimes. What a sensational place to visit. During my lunch breaks, I took some reading with me and sat on a bench. It is a sublime place to soak up the peace and tranquility in what is an otherwise busy city. In fact, one... More

Been a member here for many years, way before the house was reopened. To sit on the terrace with either tea or wine beneath the wisteria is a delight. Lovely gardens but please parents keep ball games away from this place. Sunday afternoons beneath the trees in the Summer reaaing the papers doesn't get better than this. Evening Jazz evenings...
