The Friends of Lauriston Castle Estate are one of numerous Friends groups who support the City's Parks & Greenspace team as well as being part of the It's Your Neighbourhood campaign, in which they are 'Thriving'.

For Families
2pm - 4pm pop into the courtyard at any time and sow a small pot of Regal coloured Nasturtiums. Germinate your pot at home and then plant them out, letting them self seed, giving memories for years to come of this special Coronation weekend.
