Core opening times are 11am to 3pm, all week. Several Garden Shed artists will be on site each day. If you're planning to visit a particular business, contact them in advance to check availability. Parking is available in Gibside’s visitor car parks. It is a lovely 15 minute walk to the Garden Shed businesses in the Stables and surrounding area. A shuttle service runs from Gibside’s entrance to the Stables every half hour at weekends and on request mid-week. Several workspaces are upstairs – for disabled access please call us before you visit.
