Wirksworth Hidden Gardens & Courtyards 2018

Wirksworth Hidden Gardens & Courtyards 2018

This ancient town has a wide variety of intriguing courtyards and gardens that are often hidden from view but which offer glimpses of delight as you wander around the streets and alleyways.

The weekend gives a unique opportunity for visitors to look behind the walls and enjoy our private spaces where every size and type of garden and courtyard is to be found.

Visitors follow a garden trail around the town centre of Wirksworth, with home made cakes and teas en-route.

All proceeds will this year go to local organisations and charities linked to Wirksworth Town and our International Charity, Study Guatemala.

Plant sales:
Plant sales will be taking place at Greengates and at the Secret Orchard Nursery.

Cost:
£4.00 for adults which cover both days, concessions £3.00, accompanied under 16’s free.

How to get event passports:
Tickets will be sold at Marsdens, Greengates and in front of the Memorial Hall.

Number of gardens:
Approximately 32 gardens will be open, but the total may vary from day to day – please contact the organisers if you need exact numbers.
