Residents and visitors are warmly invited to explore a stunning collection of private gardens as a popular community event returns this summer. The Beeston & Chilwell Garden Trail will take place from 1pm to 6pm on June 13 and 14, showcasing a diverse range of gardens across Beeston and Chilwell which are being opened exclusively to the public by local residents.
Organised by the local community, the trail brings together around 19 gardens. Many of these are clustered for easy access, creating an enjoyable and walkable route for a perfect summer outing. From vibrant borders to wildlife-friendly spaces, there is something to delight seasoned gardeners, newbies and families alike. In addition to exploring the gardens, visitors can look forward to plant and craft sales, refreshments and entertainment such as music and games hosted at selected locations. The event provides a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where garden owners are on hand to share tips, ideas and inspiration.
Supporting Good Causes
More than just a garden trail, the event plays a vital role in supporting good causes. Each year, proceeds are distributed to a wide range of charities, reflecting the strong community spirit at the heart of the trail.
Tickets and Access
Tickets are just £5 for adults, which covers both days, while children can attend for free. This offers excellent value for a full weekend of exploration. Tickets can be purchased either on the day at participating gardens or online in advance. Visitors are strongly encouraged to buy tickets online via the official website to make entry quick and convenient, while also helping organisers maximise funds raised for charity.
With more than a thousand tickets sold annually and thousands of pounds raised for charity, the Beeston & Chilwell Garden Trail is a highlight of the local calendar. Whether you are seeking gardening inspiration, a family-friendly day out, or simply the chance to discover hidden green spaces in your community, this event offers something for everyone. Location: Beeston and Chilwell, Nottingham.
