Cafe des Artistes -Cafe is now closed for the Winter, we reopen in March 2025. Weather dependent!

Check out our new menu! Keep updated on Instagram #hamwood.lostgardens .... To celebrate the extraordinary legacy of female artists who lived at Hamwood and the close ties with France that the Hamilton family have enjoyed over generations , we give you Cafe des Artistes. The characterful courtyard where once the carriages were stationed , has been lovingly restored and will hold musical , artistic and mindfulness events , and many others throughout the year. Come and enjoy our coffee from the renowned Watermark brand , take a Keep cup and have a wander around the beautiful gardens and along the woodland trail. A great adventure for the kids and a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the 60 acre grounds. We are open (except in Winter months)Saturday-Sunday 10am-5pm. Bring your friends and spread the word!

There will be various seating areas along the trail where one can sit in quiet contemplation, listening to the many sounds of the trees and birds etc or have a good old chat with your companions while enjoying a sumptuous cappuccino or whatever takes your fancy.
There will be afternoon tea provided on Sundays and we also propose to have designated picnic areas which will be booked in advance.
