Rodmell Open Gardens

Please note
This event ran in 2025 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.

 approx 12 gardens opened Rodmell, near Lewes, East Sussex
Sunday 8th June 2025
2.00pm to 5.00pm

Nestled between Lewes and Newhaven, escape to the heart of rural Sussex and discover the hidden gems in this historic village of Rodmell - once home to Virginia Woolf and steeped in literary charm.

Just a stone's throw from Monk's House, our stunning gardens invite you to wander through a vibrant tapestry of seasonal blooms. It offers a rare opportunity to experience the quiet beauty that once inspired Woolf herself.

Whether you're a garden lover, a literary enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, this is your invitation to step into Sussex's most enchanting countryside retreat.

The Abergavenny Arms pub will be open so that visitors can have lunch there before or during seeing the gardens. There will be teas available in the village hall, and Pimm's and ice creams on route. There are also children's games and ambient music for those that wish to rest a while.

Well-behaved dogs on leads welcome.
