Hidden Gardens of Hadleigh is a town-wide event on Saturday the 1st of June 2024 from 11am to 5pm. Tickets are £6pp and give you access to 21 gardens across Hadleigh. You can purchase your tickets from Benton End or St Mary’s Church in the centre of Hadleigh. Parking is available in three Hadleigh town car parks and is free for 3 hours.
James Horner, Head Gardener of Benton End House and Garden Trust writes: In the last few years momentum has gathered around the careful revival of Cedric Morris’ once mind-blowing 2.5 acre garden. Hadleigh’s famed artist-plantsman cultivated exceptional and very unusual plants in Benton End’s sandy loam soil. We hope some of the irises he bred will be flowering. Come and see the early stages of the garden revival as work in earnest gets underway.
Steps and slopes may limit access for some. We must emphasise that there will be no parking or drop off facilities available and therefore visitors are strongly recommended to arrive on foot.
