Middleton Open Gardens (Suffolk)

approx 16 gardens open Middleton, near Saxmundham and Leiston, Suffolk
Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2026
11.00am to 5.00pm - last entry 4.15 pm

At our annual Open Gardens event you will experience an eclectic and exciting mix of gardens, some conventional and formal, others more informal or relaxed, including some new to our event and some returning.

In our pretty village there are gardens stretching down to the Minsmere River and others overlooking Middleton Moor. Some with views of the marshes and others across the fields, some with the Spire of Holy Trinity church seen piercing the sky in the distance. Many of the gardens have a story to tell, of both their creation and development over the years.

Several of the gardeners cleverly borrow the beautiful surrounding Suffolk landscape to attract animals, insects, plants, and birds. You will also find a herd of alpacas grazing quietly in the fields within the village.

There will also be the chance to chat with our 'village entomologist', and have fun catching, identifying and learning about the many creatures that are part of our beautiful countryside.

In the pub barn, local crafters will offer vintage, ceramics and artwork. Also plants for sale, kindly supplied by Woottens of Wenhaston.

Also, don't miss the chance to visit our pretty church and see the displays created by the children of Middleton primary school.

Refreshments available all day.
