St Peter & St James Hospice Open Garden 1-5pm
St Peter & St James Hospice, North Chailey.
We launch our Open Gardens scheme this year with our very own Hospice Open Garden, Saturday 18th May, 1-5pm at our beautiful grounds in North Chailey.
You can bring the whole family along for a lovely afternoon, you will find bargains from the hospice retail team, a chance to enjoy locally made cakes and refreshments, plant sales, and raffles. We will also be joined by Burgess Hill Shed, a community craft workshop.
Wander at you own pace and admire our grounds that are all managed by our volunteer gardeners, as well as taking a stroll around the woodland walk, and don't forget to meet the two most mischievous members of the hospice team; the donkeys Dudley and Dylan.
Dogs on leads welcome.
