Marchington Open Gardens

Marchington, near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire
Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2026
11.00am to 4.30pm

Come and join us at our open garden event in our pretty village of Marchington on the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

There will be a variety of gardens to view featuring a few new openers as well as some returning favourites.

Refreshments will be available at several locations including ploughman's lunches, tea and cake, scones with delicious jam and cream, ice creams, and a tipple. Our community shop will be hosting a breakfast BBQ to start your day from 9.30am.

The Open Gardens will form part of our very popular Marchington Festival which will include scarecrows, vintage and military vehicle display, food and craft fair, daft dog show, art exhibition, live music, family games and more.

There will be an RAF fly past on both days subject to weather conditions. For more information about this please see our website nearer the time.
