Putley Open Gardens

Putley’s much-loved Open Gardens will return on 20th June, and everyone is warmly invited to enjoy a relaxed and inspiring day in this beautiful Herefordshire village.

Now in its 12th year, Putley Open Gardens has become a firm favourite with visitors, who often tell us how much they enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and the variety of gardens on offer. Whether you’re a keen gardener or simply looking for a lovely day out in the countryside, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The gardens and Putley Parish Hall will be open from 10am to 5pm, with teas and homemade cakes served throughout the day, and filled rolls available from 12 noon. Entry remains £5 per person.

Parking is available at Putley Parish Hall (HR8 2QN), with additional parking at or near many of the gardens. As our village is quite spread out, visitors are welcome to drive between gardens if they wish. However, many people enjoy walking the footpaths through our fields and orchards, which connect several of the gardens and offer beautiful countryside views along the way. Bicycles are also very welcome.

Tickets and garden maps will be available on the day from Putley Parish Hall and at the individual gardens. Toilets are available at the hall and at our beautiful village church, which will also be open and well worth a visit.

Each garden has its own character, with ponds, sculpture, topiary, wildflowers and wonderful planting, as well as fabulous views across to the Malvern Hills and the Cotswold Escarpment. Garden owners will be on hand to chat and help visitors make the most of their visit.

Money raised from the event helps support the upkeep of Putley Parish Hall—home to The Prancing Pony, Putley’s popular pop-up pub—as well as our village church and other community activities.

We hope you’ll join us for a glorious summer day exploring gardens, enjoying delicious refreshments and discovering the charm of Putley in the Herefordshire countryside.

Dogs, with the exception of Guide Dogs, are not permitted in the gardens or Parish Hall.
