We’re now planning for the fourth Ruddington Open Gardens event, which will take place during the weekend of 1st and 2nd June 2024, from 2pm to 6pm on both days.
As previously, all proceeds from the event will go to two charities: Save the Children and Action for Children
As well as open gardens and allotments, we’re hoping there’ll be live music and refreshments available, as well as vintage bus rides around the village, stalls and games in various gardens, and an art exhibition at the Framework Knitters’ Museum.
If you’d like to get involved and open your garden to visitors, we’d love to hear from you. Gardens don’t have to be big or spectacular, just attractive places that visitors will enjoy wandering around.
Even a display of hanging baskets in a front garden would make a welcome addition to the programme! We’re also happy to hear from anyone who’d be able to open on just one day over the weekend.
Information packs will be provided to each garden owner well before the event.
If you’d like any more information, or you’re considering opening your garden, please contact either myself at je.piggott@btinternet.com, Mike Davey at Ruddington Gardeners’ Association at mrdavey004@btinternet.com, or Chris Marriott at Ruddington Art & Craft Society at thdesign4@googlemail.com.
Please do support this charity event if you can – we’d love you to be a part of it!
