This garden, devised by tv character Alan Partridge (played by Steve Coogan) in collaboration with leading designers, offers a contemporary rethinking of the outdoor space. A tribute to structure, to durability, and to personal resonance, the garden reflects Alan’s meticulous approach to design, aesthetics, and materials. Visitors are invited to experience a space that is both purposeful and forward-looking.
The rear boundary fence is a standout feature, crafted from Norfolk-grown Larch with a brave design showcasing the Alan Partridge name in sound wave form. Larch was sourced exclusively from North Norfolk Estates, ensuring quality and local provenance. All metalwork throughout the garden is finished in the same gold used on Subaru GC8 Impreza alloy wheels, combining technical precision with subtle distinction. Path edging is galvanised, featuring visible spangle for a robust and striking finish. The path gravel is a self-binding British limestone blend, offering durability and wheelchair accessibility, in keeping with best practice standards observed in Royal Estates.
Alan’s approach to this garden highlights careful sourcing, local ties, and a demand that excellence in execution is non-negotiable. Every element, from recycled plastic signage materials to the handcrafted oak signpost from Dartmoor, represents an ethos of thoughtful modernity and resilient tradition. Alan’s high standards ensure that literally nothing here is merely decorative; literally everything is deliberate, practical, and rooted in authenticity.
