Much planting was lost over time and during the Great Storm of 1987, and we're now delivering a programme of improvements to reimagine the Pleasure Ground. This work honours its Brownian origins, 250 years of changing design, and its unique Spirit of Place-while meeting the expectations of a modern audience.
