Event Information

An amazing array of gardens open to 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.

Over 20 venues to explore

Each year our visitors 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. Our Grayshott Gardeners club is very active and many members open their gardens year after year. The village has a thriving allotment community with two sites producing an array of home-grown fruit and veg and a Community Orchard.

More than gardens

There are a host of attractions too! You could meet our swordsmith and see how swords are made. Watch our local firefighters in action, or find the Queen Bee with Brad the beekeeper. Each event has something different to offer by way of attractions/

Prizes to be won

We've run photography competitions for children and adults.

Younger children can hunt for something fun in each garden to keep them entertained during your visit. Over the years we've had frogs, hedgehogs, fairies and more to be found! Each event has its own theme.

Homegrow plants and afternoon teas
