Hoo House Nursery

Reviewed By CheltenhamJellybaby

Whenever I need plants for my garden I visit Hoo House Nursery first. This is a nursery tucked away off the main Tewkesbury Road and it sells herbaceous perennials. A great selection of plants - some "standards" that you can probably find anywhere but what sets them apart is their range of more unusual plants. Arranged by sun and shade loving plants plus their alpine section, its always worth a trip. The owners are friendly and knowledgable - if a plant has any particularly tricky habits they will let you know! The plants are also suited to our soil here so you won't find any acid loving types. They also plant completely peat free which is excellent and still all too rare. Best to bear in mind that this is a nursery not a garden centre - no compost or cafe - just lots of lovely plants.

John Moore Museum

Reviewed By corrien156

The John Moore Museum is a very interesting group of museums. It is part of a terrace of very old buildings, one of which has been left as it was in Tudor times, another houses a spectacular collection of countryside exhibits and animals, and there is also a very early Baptist Chapel. We were a bit late in the season to appreciate the cottage gardens at their best and the Baptist Chapel was closed to visitors, so visit before the end of September if you want to see everything! Even so, it was a very good couple of hours.

The Roses

Reviewed By 141lyndah

Our annual visit to the first night of panto with family was brilliant. The children young and much older laughed and sang. A couple of very small first night mistakes handled very professional by the cast. Only the adults in our party noticed. If you've not booked do it was a fantastic show even better than last year, Christmas has started. Well done all. New seats made it even better very comfortable.

Just visited with my wife. We really enjoyed it, especially the antique toy fair. The lady on the door is very informative, providing additional information and local knowledge. Its a free museum with donations taken.
