Broomfield Conservatory was built in 1934, but looks older. It has been planted with a variety of exotics and is maintained by a team of volunteers from the Friends of Broomfield Park, who open it to the public on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
Admission is free, but our work is dependent on voluntary contributions and these are always very welcome.
