Gnomes are back in fashion – and they're taking over Painswick Rococo Garden for a special family trail this summer 2026!

With garden gnomes firmly back in fashion after the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year, Painswick Rococo Garden resident, Rolly the Rococo Gnome, is hosting a special summer party to celebrate – with a new family trail to follow.

What to expect from Gnome for the Holiday family trail at Painswick Rococo Garden?

Before Rolly's garden party can get underway, Gnome Bert has got to find all his friends. 

Weave your way around the garden, which is full of playful follies and vibrant flowers bursting with summer colour, to find all of the gnomes and see what they're bringing to the celebration – with interactive games to play, drawings to do, and fun challenges to try along the way. 

Every child that completes the trail will receive a treat, while the Garden Cafe provides the perfect pit stop for grown-ups to kick back and enjoy a hot drink, light lunch or something sweet.

The Exedra Nursery is fully stocked with colourful plants to take home for your own garden, too.
