Discover The Hideaway – A New Space for Children

We’re delighted to bring The Hideaway to Burghley for the very first time, following its successful debut at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show earlier this year.

This beautifully crafted children’s garden room is inspired by the classic Burghley Summerhouse and hand-built to the same exacting standards as the rest of our timber range. Whether it becomes a secret storytelling nook or a creative space for imaginative outdoor play, The Hideaway is a thoughtful investment in quality time outdoors.

Join us at Burghley Horse Trials, held from 4th to 7th September at the stunning Burghley Park near Stamford in Lincolnshire. Experience the very best in equestrian sport – and the very best in equestrian buildings from Scotts of Thrapston.

We look forward to seeing you on Stand C40.
