Things to see and do

Update

We’ve started to reopen some of our places, in line with government advice, but the process is going to be gradual.

Decisions on what will open is being based on a number of criteria including the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers - which remains our priority - as well being mindful of access to facilities and to avoid the creation of hotspots in local communities.

Upon careful review we have decided that Woolbeding Gardens will remain closed for 2020 as we are unable to keep everyone safe and maintain social distancing during the minibus journey to and from the garden and Midhurst.
