Bramshott Open Gardens (BOG) is back and is set to be bigger and more beautiful than ever!

It will run from Saturday, June 15 to Sunday, June 16 from 11am to 5pm by St Mary's Church in Bramshott. Writer and comedian Sandi Toksvig will cut the ribbon to open the event on the Saturday and will be on hand to sign books and chat to visitors.

All proceeds from BOG will go towards supporting local charities and projects with £25,000 raised in 2022. The event dates back to 1987 and is entirely run by a committee of volunteers who work tirelessly, to make the gardens extra special for visitors and to support local causes and organisations around the area.

There will be 20 gardens to see including large formal gardens with wide sweeping lawns, smaller garden gems, riverside locations, cottage gardens, ponds, formal vegetable and herb gardens, rose gardens, terraces, lawns and more.

Classic cars will be on display, a tombola is up for grabs and a tea tent and BBQ to keep you going. Eager green-thumbs have the opportunity to get their hands on a range of cuttings, seedlings, and fresh garden produce from the plant stall.

Commenting on social media, actor Hugh Bonneville said: “Meander through some beautiful gardens, raising funds for local causes as you go - win win!”

Shuttle buses will run every 15 minutes on a certain route and will stop at Bramshott Place, Radford Court, Fletchers House, Hanover Court and the Anchor bus stop.

Tickets are £8 for adults and children aged 12 and under go free when accompanied by an adult. Your ticket allows entry to the gardens over both days and use of the shuttle bus for free and can be purchased online at https://www.bramshottopengardens.org.uk/
