Swanmore, north of Fareham, Hampshire Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June 2026 1.00pm to 6.00pm
On the edge of the Meon Valley, in the heart of the Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton triangle, our delightful village will open many of its gardens to visitors.
We will have a mix of large and small gardens open. Some of these will be opening for the first time. In addition to several gardens within easy walking distance of the village centre we will have some more remote and these you can reach using the free Hop-on-Hop-off minibus operated by the Meon Valley Lions Club.
Teas, coffees and delicious homemade cakes will be available in the Paterson Centre from 2.00pm.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Proceeds Proceeds to St. Barnabas, and Rowans Hospice.
Plant sales There will be some plants for sale and a plant creche will avoid the need to carry them around - just give them to the minibus driver and collect them from The Paterson Centre.
Cost £6.00 adults per day, with free entry for one or two accompanied under 15s per adult.
How to get tickets / programmes Tickets are available from 12.30pm at The Paterson Centre.
Number of gardens Approximately 8 gardens will be open, but the total may vary from day to day - please contact the organisers if you need exact numbers.
Directions / Parking Follow Open Gardens arrows from A32, or from B2177 at Bishops Waltham or Waltham Chase. Parking at the gardens is extremely limited and some of our lanes are very narrow. There is plenty of parking at The Paterson Centre, so please use the free shuttle bus provided by the Meon Valley Lions as a service to the community and the charities concerned.
Toilet Facilities Toilets are available at this event.
