Lillingstone Lovell Open Gardens
 Lillingstone Lovell, Buckingham
Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June 2024
12.00noon to 6.00pm (5.00pm Sunday)
In our 25th anniversary year, we will have a wide variety of village gardens for you to discover, including one celebrated NGS garden.
The centre of this small north Buckinghamshire village is a beautiful conservation area. The focal point being the 13th Century church, which will host a flower festival themed on anniversaries, where bell ringing and organ music will add to the atmosphere.
We have again invited the proud owners of Classic Cars to bring them along to create a static display of nostalgia, for everyone to admire these feats of design, style and engineering.
Look out for art in the barn, second-hand books and craft stalls. For the children who may be strolling with you, we have devised another special Treasure Hunt with rewards.
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.
Lillingstone Lovell is a dog-friendly village and well-behaved dogs on leads are most welcome.
