Open Garden Squares Weekend is an opportunity to feed your curiosity and explore over 230 private, secret and little-known gardens across 27 London boroughs over one very special weekend. Gardens range from the historic and traditional to the new and experimental, and include private gardens, roof gardens, community allotments, gardens belonging to historic buildings, institutions, cafés, schools and shops. One ticket gives access to numerous gardens across the weekend. This year’s Open Garden Squares Weekend is on 9-10 June 2018.
Adult tickets for the whole weekend are £15 in advance, children aged 12-18 £8, under-12s free. To buy advance tickets and for other ticket options, see the Open Garden Squares website. Tickets will also be available from gardens on the day.
