Garden celebration at Arlington Court

As summer draws to a close, join us in celebrating the beauty, history, and hidden corners of Arlington's gardens.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As summer draws to a close, join us in celebrating the beauty, history, and hidden corners of Arlington's gardens.

From Monday 14 to Sunday 20 September, visitors are invited to explore vibrant flower beds, uncover rarely seen behind-the-scenes spaces like the polytunnels and compost bays, discover more about how we care for our gardens, learn about the history of the garden and more. This year we will also be giving visitors a sneak peak of a new garden space, the Slip Garden, that we have been working on.

Learn about sustainable gardening, from green manures to planting for pollinators, and join our gardeners on weekdays for talks and demonstrations in traditional skill and discover the care and creativity that goes into maintaining these historic grounds.
