 | Please note
This event rested in 2025 and we don't have any up to date event details. When we get updated information, we'll add it here, but in the meantime we include below event information from a previous year to remind you about the event. |
 Forncett, southwest of Norwich, Norfolk
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June 2024
10.00am to 4.00pm

Forncett consists of three parts: Forncett St. Peter, Forncett St. Mary and Forncett End, set in the Norfolk countryside, some ten miles South West of Norwich, with a mix of old and new properties. The villages are well spaced and you will probably find cycling or driving most convenient as you move from garden to garden.
Refreshments will be available.

Plant sales
There will be plants for sale.
Cost
£5.00 per adult, accompanied children free.

A140 from Norwich, turn right in Long Stratton along Swan Lane (just after pedestrian crossing lights) to Forncett - follow the road for about 3 miles as it twists and turns through the countryside, passing St Peter’s church at a sharp right hand bend.
