Fletching Garden Trail is taking place on Sunday 30th June 2024
Have you ever walked through a picturesque village, gazing in through the windows of the beautiful houses wondering what lies behind the garden gates? Well for only one day each year the award winning village of Fletching opens over 20 of its private gardens to the general public with the chance to talk to the owners and gardeners. This year the date for your diary is Sunday 30th June.
The Fletching Garden Trail has been the main fundraising event for the incredible village Primary school. All proceeds directly benefit the school, and enable opportunities such as forest school and music lessons.
Fletching is nestled in the magnificent countryside only a couple of miles from Sheffield Park National Trust Gardens and the Bluebell Railway. The Garden Trail guarantees fun for all, including a variety of children’s activities, a raffle and a popular plant and seed sale. Some of the gardens have featured in national publications so it promises to be a visual treat.
The popular Garden Café will be situated on the Village Rec, serving delicious light lunches, refreshments and home-made cakes throughout the day, all set in an idyllic location.
All of this for just £10 per adult and no entry charge for children (plus free parking). Tickets should be purchased on the day from the school playground (contactless card machine available). Included in your entry fee is a brochure which includes a map to help you navigate your way from exquisite garden to garden.
