Wanted to come on a sunny day to trentham gardens and it did not disappoint. It's simply a very scenic, peaceful, chill, slow paced (in a good way), green, real escape from the busy outside world. Wasnt the biggest fan of the shopping area...but the garden centre is very impressive! Heavily sunburnt so bring suncream cream on a nice day...there's more consistent sunlight than you first think.

We stopped here at Trentham and stayed a couple of nights in the Premier Inn, which had air con😁 We found out about the gardens and retail village from a youtuber we follow. This is the site of a lot of history with its famous huge mansion and impressive gardens and the families which owned them at various times. Sadly the mansion has all but gone except a few pieces left standing. The gardens on the other hand are there and the current owners have sank millions into bringing them back to their former glory. It is an ongoing project but what they have achieved so far is impressive. There is regular events held there from car shows to music throughout the year and so much more. For you ev owners there are Tesla chargers open to all, and I'm a non Tesla owner and I charged for 0.30p off peak. There is so much here I would be writing for ages, but as its not far from the M6 near Stoke and you find yourself that way then pop in, tons of free parking. The locals certainly seem to like it.

Lovely area to have a nice day out,particularly on a nice summers day.Quite a long walk around,but plenty of places to stop and rest,and lots of nice areas to have a picnic.A few (slightly pricey) places to pick up drinks/ice cream/food,although some of our group opted for the kids sandwich meal which consisted of two small (home made) square sandwiches with nothing other than butter and a single slice of ham-probably ok for a toddler!

Trentham Gardens is a beautiful place to spend a few hours. The Italian Gardens are always immaculate, the lakeside walk is peaceful, and the fairy sculptures add something really special. There’s plenty of space so it never feels overcrowded, and the whole estate is well looked after. A great spot for families, couples, or anyone who just wants a relaxing day outdoors.
