Garden Open Day at St Peter's Hospice

As part of the National Open Garden Scheme, thousands of private gardens are open around the country to the general public. The money raised goes to hospice care (through the national body of Help the Hospices) as well as other charities.

St Peter’s Hospice will be opening our award winning gardens on the 16 June.

Come and visit the beauty and tranquillity of our Hospice gardens. Bring friends, family and neighbours – everyone is welcome! We will be serving cakes, sandwiches and drinks in our new coffee shop (all proceeds to the Hospice) and a plant sale in the gardens.

Tickets are £3.50 for adults and entry is free for children. The garden will be open from 10:30am – 4:30pm and tickets will be available at the door. To arrange a group booking on another day please call Sarah (our gardener) on 0117 915 9429.
