Stony Open Gardens 2022

Make a date for your diary!

After a break of three years we are delighted to announce that Stony Open Gardens is back again. We will have a full range of over 20 gardens to visit with several new gardens added to the mix. This year we will open at 11am and the gardens will close at 4pm.

All proceeds from this event will go to Willen Hospice to help their essential care work. This will be the tenth time the event has been staged since the late Sheila Plater first started it in 2003. Over the years since then the event has raised over £100,000 for Willen Hospice.

There will be arts, music and dance performances in several of the gardens, and an art exhibition at Swinfen Hall.  There will also be a Grand Raffle with plenty of chances to win some fantastic prizes. Tickets will be sold at York House and at each garden.

Refreshments, snacks, sandwiches and cake will be on sale at York House Centre throughout each day. The Made in Stony group will exhibit their unique, handcrafted art and crafts.  Willen Bookshops will be selling a selection of used adult and children’s books.  Knitters for Willen will be showcasing the results of their knitting skills. A plant sale will be running at one of the show gardens in Calverton Road.

Tickets will be on sale at York House from 10am on both days and from the gardens after 11am. If you want to buy tickets in advance they will be available from Monday 9 May at three locations  in the High Street –  Odell & Co, Willen Bookshop and Willen Shop.
