Hidden Gardens of Bury

Bury St Edmunds has many fine and historic buildings, but Hidden Gardens gives people the chance to discover the secret patios, lawns, borders, vegetable gardens, greenhouses and other features behind their facades and high walls.

All the gardens are in the town centre and within walking distance of each other, although with about 30 different ones to see you may want to concentrate on a handful and take a break to soak up the garden party atmosphere and enjoy the refreshments on offer.

Some of these gardens have been tended for many generations, while others are only now coming to maturity or are still very new. Be prepared to be surprised and inspired.

The gardens open this year will be listed in the programme – which is also the ticket – with a map to plan your visit. You can purchase your tickets in advance online at the Book Tickets link above! Tickets will also be available on Angel Hill at the Hidden Gardens marquee from 10.30am on the day of the event.

Tickets £7, Under 16s go free. In aid of St Nicholas Hospice Care.

St Nicholas Hospice Care also organises Celebrate Our Gardens - enjoy online talks and tours by garden experts across our community. Running from 3 June to 31 July, Celebrate Our Gardens features a host of online events that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.
