Visiting the Winter Garden
One of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the UK during the last hundred years has created a stunning green world in the heart of the city.
Next to the Peace Gardens and the Millennium Galleries, the Winter Garden provides visitors with a unique experience in the city centre.
There are more than 2,500 plants from around the world creating a superb display. The building itself is 70 metres long and 22 metres high (large enough to house 5,000 domestic greenhouses!).
