Thornton Open Gardens

 approx 12 gardens open Thornton, near Markfield, Leicestershire
Sunday 7th July 2024
1.00pm to 6.00pm

Come and visit our lovely rural village which enjoys delightful views over Thornton reservoir. What better way to spend a sunny summer afternoon?

There will be stalls and other attractions around the village and St. Peter's Church will be open.

Teas and refreshments will be available at the Community Centre.

Dogs on leads are welcome at many of the gardens.

Accessibility: It should be noted that Thornton is built on a ridge and so many of the gardens are on slopes or are terraced with steps and are therefore not ideal for those in wheelchairs or with impaired mobility. Some of the pavements are also narrow. Our printed programme attempts to indicate those more suitable.

Proceeds
All proceeds from this event are for the maintenance, restoration and improvement of our beautiful historic church.

Plant sales
There will be plants for sale.

Cost
£3.00, accompanied children free.

How to get tickets / programmes
Programmes will be available from Thornton Nurseries, The Bricklayers Arms, The Corner Shop. St. Peter's Church, all participating gardens and the Community Centre.
