More than 20,000 people visited Bodnant Garden in the first week in June making it the attraction’s busiest week in history.Fine weather at the stunning garden saw visitors flock to the attraction National Trust garden near Conwy.
The week saw an average of 363 visitors walking through the gardens gates every hour, with that figure rising to more than 700 visitors per hour at peak times.
The garden also received more than 7,000 visitors over the weekend – another record – and enjoyed its best-ever late night opening, with more than 500 evening visitors – many of those bringing their dogs for Wag Wednesday walkies.
Bodnant Garden general manager William Greenwood said: “Crowds have flocked to see the famous Laburnum Arch in spectacular June sunshine.
Mr Greenwood continued: “This year we’ve pulled out all the stops to make the June experience a memorable one for everyone, opening the garden gates early, and late, and offering breakfasts in the tearoom for early birds.
“We’ve also recruited a team of special volunteers,
Laburnum Archers,
to help visitors coming here for the flowering spectacle, which normally attracts around 50,000 people over three weeks in June but the way things are going we could well break that record by the end of the month too.”
