Welcome to Caversham Court Gardens on the bank of the River Thames in Reading

Enjoy a flavour of the gardens from the video above.

Come and enjoy the beauty and long history of Caversham Court on the bank of the River Thames.  

Owned and cared for by Reading Borough Council. The Friends assist the council  to achieve its objectives for Caversham Court as a historic garden and to raise awareness of its history and importance. 

The gardens are open every day (except Christmas Day) from 8 a.m. to dusk. Entry is free.

 The charity run Tea Kiosk is now closed for winter but will re-open for the Carols Evening on 14 December.

There is an accessible portaloo by the main entrance, but baby changing facilities and the Tea Kiosk are down steps on the main lawn level alongside the vinery. Unfortunately there is still no wheelchair access to the lower lawn and to the Tea Kiosk.  Car parking remains a problem owing to the wall along The Warren being fenced off for safety reasons.

MAJOR CONSERVATION WORK IN THE GARDENS APPROVED

The good news for the gardens is that Reading Borough Council's planning applications committee have approved major plans for major conservation work.  Approved plans include replacing the main double gates, which were damaged in a car accident, with new gates at the Church Road entrance, restoration of historic walls and the gazebo.  Further details are in NEWS.
