Wollerton Old HallMore InformationGarden open for charity
Four acre garden created around C16 house (not open). Formal structure creates variety of gardens each with own colour theme and character. Planting is mainly of perennials many in their late summer and early autumn hues, particularly the asters.
Created 40 years ago around a Tudor house (not open), this quality garden has been extensively filmed by all major TV channels and also Japanese TV.
Designed by the owner, Lesley Jenkins, this outstanding garden combines a strong structure with clever planting combinations using perennials. The early spring shows of anemones, hellebores and trilliums are followed by tulips, aquilegias and oriental poppies. The summer roses herald the arrival of the delphiniums which in turn give way to the dominance of stately hollyhocks and vibrant phlox. August sees the hot garden ignited which still burns when the asters and euonymus seed capsules arrive in September.
Featured on Monty Don's British Gardens- Ep3 (2025).
Admission £10. Children free. Light lunches from 12:00. Cream teas from 14:00. Plant sale.

Nr ShifnalHills Ford Stages Rally Festival Comes to Weston Park to bigin a weekend of rally
10:00 - 19:00 19th September 2026
More InformationOne of Shropshire's newest sporting events roars into life on Saturday 19 September as the inaugural Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival arrives at Weston Park.
The Rally Festival forms the opening day of the Hills Ford Stages Rally weekend, beginning with the ceremonial start in Shrewsbury before around 150 rally crews head to Weston Park to tackle four spectacular special stages, including the famous Weston Park Water Splash, with almost five hours of thrilling rally action.
There's much more than motorsport too. Visitors can enjoy local trade stands, food and refreshments, family attractions, the PATHWAYS – Discover Motorsport education zone, the DriveWize road safety initiative, and opportunities to meet the volunteers who make rallying possible.
The rally continues on Sunday 20 September with a full day of closed-road competition across five stages in South Shropshire, each run twice, as crews battle for overall victory. This year's event welcomes competitors from eight rally championships, featuring everything from iconic historic rally cars to the very latest Rally2 machinery. Several championships feature double-header rounds, while others reach their season finale at the Hills Ford Stages, where national championship titles will be decided.
As a not-for-profit event, spectator parking at Weston Park is managed by local charities and community groups, with all parking donations going directly to support their work.
Advance tickets are available for the Weston Park Rally Festival on Saturday 19 September. Sunday's closed-road rally uses separate spectator viewing areas, with parking available at designated locations. Details of spectator areas and parking for Sunday will be published closer to the event on the Hills Ford Stages website and Facebook page.
