There is the opportunity to visit one of Norwich's hidden havens this summer.

The Bishop's Garden in Cathedral Close, will be hosting a special event as it opens its doors for a rare occasion.

Visitors will be able to explore the private formal walled garden which has belonged to the Bishops of Norwich for over 900 years.

Enjoy the sights of the traditional double herbaceous border, organic kitchen garden, wildflower labyrinth, woodland area, and a formal boxed rose garden with a pond and fountain.
