AN AMAZING ARRAY OF GRAYSHOTT GARDENS OPEN FOR ALL
Nestled in the Surrey/Hampshire hills, Grayshott is an award-winning village famous for being ‘the village that has everything’. Situated in an area of outstanding beauty, surrounded by National Trust forest and health land, many of Grayshott’s gardens enjoy stunning views of the undulating countryside and benefit from the acidic, sandy soil.
MORE THAN 30 VENUES TO EXPLORE
This year you will get to enjoy a range of gardens from the courtyard to the stately, formal to cottage, contemporary to woodland and the intimate to the ambitious. The village has a thriving allotment community with two sites producing an array of home-grown fruit and veg.

There are a host of attractions too! Meet our swordsmith and see how swords are made. Watch our local firefighters in action, or find the Queen Bee with Brad the beekeeper.
