We are situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park, close to Chesterfield and a couple of miles from Sheffield

The Garden Centre is part of Dunston Hall Estates with it’s centrepiece, Dunston Hall, which dates back to the 16th century.

The Hall is open for Weddings, bespoke events and to the public, on certain days of the year for cream teas and walks around the stunning garden. Dunston Hall Garden Centre is set next to the hall within one of the most beautiful walled gardens in Derbyshire, with stunning views over the Derbyshire hills and to South Yorkshire. It is definitely worth a visit.

Dunston Hall Estate is currently undergoing many exciting projects, including the refurbishment of a new bistro and redevelopment of some of our sales areas, to enhance the experience of our customers. We are developing a large seating area outside, so you can enjoy the stunning views whilst enjoying some of the finest coffee and cakes in the area. Relax, drink, dine whilst your children play in the new adventure playground.

This unique and picturesque garden centre has friendly and professional staff, always happy to talk, giving helpful advice and support for all your garden needs.  We actively support local businesses and suppliers and where possible sell locally produced goods.

To support UK plant growers, it is our aim, where ever possible, to provide British grown plants, across all types and varieties. We have an amazing range of plants, gardening supplies and gifts, which covers every season. Everything you could wish for so you can enjoy your garden and make it a special place. 

We look forward to welcoming both loyal and new customers to Dunston Hall Garden Centre. 

We are dog friendly (on a short lead please) inside the Garden Centre and our outside dining area.

We hope you enjoy your visit and tell your family and friends about us.

Recently refurbished cafe is bigger and better - now with a children's play area. Good food at reasonable prices. Large selection of plants, garden furniture and equipment. Popular, so may be a good idea to book ahead if you want an inside table.

Dunston Bistro is absolutely fabulous! Its hard to remember that you are in a garden centre and not a city centre bistro...a total gem! The food is very tasty, beautifully cooked and interesting. The service is well run and the staff are warm and friendly. The dining area is tastefully decorated and furnished. I have visited twice now and will be returning! Highly recommended. Well done Dunston!

A good 1st visit, very wide selection of plants,shrubs, trees, seeds and ephemera associated with gardening. There is a nicely arranged gift area, with various items that don't dominate. Fabulous selection of bird food and feeders of all types and styles. The Bistro was spotless although on this occasion I didn't make a purchase. The toilets both male and female were spotless and smelt clean. Overall I highly rate this garden centre and will be visiting regularly.

Always good coming here, food brill. I felt today though was abit under staffed as we didn't get out drinks till we had almost finished our breakfast food. Hayley our server was running around and was absolutely amazing under the amount of work you could clearly see she had. This hasn't put us off coming as we do enjoy it here but constructive criticism never goes amiss. You got a top worker there who cares and is stretched.
