Visit Munstead Wood this summer to learn more about the remarkable story of Gertrude Jekyll. Join a behind the scenes tour to discover this beautiful garden and hear about what we have been working on since the property was acquired.

Tickets available from 20 June 2026

While Munstead Wood remains closed to the public we have the opportunity to offer some backstage guided tours this summer. Tours will be led by volunteer guides and share the history of the garden and details of the remarkable life and work of Gertrude Jekyll.

Further details will be updated on this page and tickets will be available to book from 20 June 2026. While we continue our work at Munstead Wood, the house and garden remain very much as a private home, and space and access is limited. Booking will be essential.
