On the edge of the Meon Valley, in the heart of the Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton triangle, our delightful village will open many of its gardens to visitors.

We will have a mix of large and small gardens with 8-10 open. Some of these will be opening for the first time.

In addition to several gardens within easy walking distance of the village centre we will have some that are more remote and these you can reach using the free Hop-on-Hop-off minibus provided by the Meon Valley Lions Club as a service to the community and the charities involved.

Parking adjacent to The Paterson Centre where you will find tickets, toilets, teas & plants for sale, is free & plentiful.”

Teas, coffees and delicious homemade cakes will be available in the Paterson Centre from 2pm.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

The aim of the 2026 event is to give you a wonderful day to remember, whilst raising funds for charity.

“This event has been running for years, for the last few proceeds have gone to benefit Rowans Hospice, The Paterson Centre and St Barnabas Church” 

Proceeds

The proceeds of the open gardens are donated to Rowans Hospice, The Paterson Centre & St Barnabas Church.
