It's all happening at Barnsdale! Every Sunday during July and August, we're offering family events, free with Garden entry.

Hunt for the Fairy doors, Fairy houses and Fairies in the woodland and around the gardens. Solve the Fairy riddles, work out what the fairies are trying to tell us and make a wish at the wishing tree.

Join us for a creative afternoon with a selection of artists demonstrating live painting, sketching and other creative techniques for visitors to observe whilst in the gardens.

After last years success we return with our gardening question time, join Nick Hamilton, Susie Watson - our Veg Supremo and Barnsdale’s Head Gardener Jon Brocklebank on either of these question and answer sessions.

Enjoy a laid-back Summer Sunday at Barnsdale Gardens with the return of award-winning duo Annie Duggan and Rob Hines. Expect soulful vocals, beautiful acoustic guitar and a blend of Americana, Jazz, Blues and Roots — the perfect soundtrack to a summer afternoon.

On this free 20-minute walk and talk, Emma introduces plants that thrive in drier conditions and changing weather. Exclusive plant discounts will be available to attendees on the day.

Free. No need to book, just turn up.
