Mayfield Garden Spring Festival Entry

The 50 hectare (124 acre) Hawkins' Family Garden extends beyond Mayfield Garden and is breathtaking in its design and expanse. Mayfield Garden is 15 hectares (36 acres) and the design has been inspired by the best gardens throughout Europe. As a result, 55 hectares (160 acres) of the garden are now open for your enjoyment during Spring Festival. The garden is visited on foot at your own pace. 

Some of the major features includes: 
• The English maze
• The 80 metre cascade and waterfall
• The Walled Kitchen Garden
• Mayfield Chapel
• Croquet Court
• Mayfield Amphitheatre
• Rowing boats on Mayfield Lake

Whilst the 15 hectare Mayfield Garden is open 363 days of the year (closed 25 & 26 December), the Hawkins family opens their private garden to visitors during seasonal festival periods.

THE SPRING FESTIVAL 

A complimentary shuttle bus and garden tour operates continuously throughout the Spring Festival, doing a loop of the garden, with multiple drop-off/pick-up stops along the way.

We recommend arriving when we open at 9am, and give yourself a minimum of 4 hours during the Spring Festival. Last garden entry is 3pm. The garden closes at 4:30pm.

WHAT TO BRING

We recommend wearing closed walking shoes and dressing for the weather which might mean bringing a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and an umbrella. Being located in the tablelands a sweater or jacket is recommended year-round.

Mayfield Cafe is open from 9 AM, serving our fresh, farm-to-table seasonal menu until 3 PM, and coffee, tea, the bar, and snacks open until 4:30 PM. Mayfield Café offers takeaway options that you may enjoy in Mayfield Garden. There are no bins within the garden areas.
