Lillingstone Lovell Open Gardens
 | Please note
This event ran in 2016 but we don't yet have this year's details. When we get them, we'll add them, but in the meantime we include below event information from last year to remind you about the event. |
Lillingstone Lovell, Buckingham
Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June 2016
12.00noon to 6.00pm
 The centre of this small north Buckinghamshire village is a beautiful conservation area. The focal point being the 13th Century church, which will be decorated with flower displays, where bell ringing and organ music will add to the atmosphere. New for this year, Lovell Pop-Up Artists will be exhibiting some of their artwork in the church.
Paintings will also be displayed in the picture framing and conservation studio in the delightful cottage gardens of 9 Brookside and Little Thatch. Also in this garden you will find Nicholas Packham - artist blacksmith - who will have fired up his forge and will be demonstrating his art and exhibiting his creations.
Snack lunches, homemade vegetarian soup and refreshments will be served from midday in the Village Hall. Our famous afternoon cream teas will be served with delicious home-baked scones, cakes and strawberry flans - including gluten-free options. You will also be able to peruse second-hand books for sale and browse the craft stall.
For the children who may be strolling with you, we have devised another special Treasure Hunt with rewards!
Lillingstone Lovell is a dog-friendly village and well-behaved dogs on leads are most welcome.
Proceeds to support our 13th Century church and village hall.
Plant sales:
Some gardeners will have home grown plants for sale and we have again invited Dave Snapes, who has a passion for wildflowers and cottage garden perennials, who will be offering a wide selection of plants from his nursery of Blisworth Wild Flowers.
Cost:
£5.00 per person - children under 16 free. With so much to see, it makes sense to come on Saturday - if you run out of time you can then use your ticket again on the Sunday.
How to get event passports:
Having parked your car (follow the signs), please go to the admissions table under a gazebo.
