Northumberland Open Gardens Event Expects Visitors From Across The UK This June

The event gives visitors the chance to explore stunning private gardens, including the much loved ‘Walled Garden’ with original ‘John Dobson’ Glasshouses, admire beautiful Flower Festival displays in St John’s Church, discover a fascinating model railway exhibition, visit plant and local craft stalls in Barnacre Garden, and enjoy delicious homemade lunches and teas.

Mike Elphick, a lead member of the organising committee for the event said, “Longhirst Open Gardens and Flower Festival is a much-anticipated event in the Northumberland calendar, with visitors coming from across the North East and as far afield as Scotland and the Midlands to view the stunning gardens in our village. It’s great to welcome first-time visitors as well as those who are back again to see how the gardens are developing.”

“We are expecting between 400 – 500 people to visit our gardens and all proceeds from the event are split between Longhirst Village Hall and St John’s Church.”

Tickets are £7.50 per person and both cash and cards are accepted. Accompanied children are free and the whole event is dog friendly.

Longhirst Village can be found nestled just off the A1, on the B1337, 3 miles north of Morpeth. The X18 bus route runs through the village. There will be a free Park and Ride Service available on both the Saturday and Sunday - just follow the signs. Disabled parking is available in the village.
