A season packed full of great events and activities for all of the family. Find out more about our fairs, events and exhbitions and talks.

To us community spirit is vital on a family estate, and we wish to foster this to positively support our tenants and businesses. Engaging with the local community creates a healthy and vibrant atmosphere whether it be by holding our events, community engagement projects or providing access, whether it be for wellbeing or sports.

A rural estate like Spetchley has always provided a focal point for rural communities and it is our vision to ensure this continues and grows for the betterment of individuals and local businesses. The Estate hosts the Spetchley Cricket Pitch and Pavilion, used by the local Spetchley village team and surrounding villages.

We are committed to understanding our environment and ensuring that we continue to challenge our practices whilst maintaining an income stream that allows us to look after this wonderful estate. We run annual events throughout the open season that provide a much-needed income that supports our aims. 

Plant Fair happens the last Sunday in April every year.

Our legacy is to provide a sustainable, robust and forward-thinking estate that matches individual passions to political, economic and social needs. At the heart of the legacy is a friendly, family run estate that holds community and family values at its heart ensuring custodianship of our beautiful environment is long lasting and to the benefit of future generations.

The existing woodlands are constantly evolving, glades are opened up and rides kept open with replanting carried out where necessary to create diversity. We have three species of deer living wild in our woods, roe, fallow and the diminutive muntjac. As well as our mature woodlands we have also planted some new woods with more planned for the near future.

The hedgerows are our wildlife corridors and are managed accordingly. Many hedgerows have been replanted to ensure continuity and lots have grass margins running alongside them, which is a favoured habitat for voles, among many other species, which in turn are a prime food source for our resident barn owls. As well as the barn owls, there are also tawny and little owls resident and occasionally a visiting short eared owl. Other raptors that may be seen on the estate include kestrel, sparrowhawk, common buzzard, red kite and peregrine falcon.

Every year some of our arable ground is taken out of commercial production to aid our conservation work. We plant over thirty acres with a wild bird seed mix to provide a food source through the Autumn, winter and early spring for many species of birds including finches, buntings, sparrows and grey partridge, some of which are red listed species.

We also provide over six tonnes of supplementary feed a year, which includes cereals, sunflower seeds and small seeds such as millet and rapeseed, from December through to April. This helps the birds through the lean winter months and hopefully they will be in prime condition come the nesting season. We also have some fields planted with a pollen/ nectar mix which is greatly favoured by many species of bees, butterflies as well as numerous other insects.

A Garden visit is an ideal way to spend an afternoon or day with your club or society.
