Saturday & Sunday
1.30-5.30pm
If you have never been to Winster’s Secret Open Gardens I can highly recommend it. The afternoon is not just about the Gardens but it is a whole occasion. With live jazz at one of the gardens, plenty of refreshments – cream teas in the Village Hall where you can also see the Winster Tapestry: whilst other gardens offer more refreshments from cream teas to home-made desserts with bucks fizz. Visitors follow a garden trail around the streets and alleys of the village, exploring a wide variety of gardens. There is a Gnome Hunt for children.
There is very limited parking in the village itself, but two free car parks: at the top of the village (on the B5056 above Miners Standard pub) and at the Wensley end of the village (on B5057, next to the school). A Park and Ride minibus service (with wheelchair lift) run from the Car Parks to Main Street and back. Tickets are available from both Car Parks and outside the Market House in Main Street. Tickets are £3.50 per person (children free, but must be accompanied) and the event is run in aid of the Burton Institute, Winster’s award-winning village hall, and other Winster organisations. There will be plants from Winster-based Peak Cottage Plants, and quality local crafts for sale.
