Come and visit our lovely rural village which enjoys delightful views over Thornton reservoir.
There will more than one dozen gardens to visit, and St Peter's Church will also open.
Visitors can enjoy refreshments, stalls and other attractions around the village, including plants for sale. Dogs on leads are welcome at many of the gardens, and admission is by programme at £3 per person (accompanied children go free).
Programmes are available from Thornton Nurseries, The Bricklayers Arms, The Corner Shop, St Peter's Church, all participating gardens and The Community Centre. Organised by Friends of St Peter's and supported by The Garden Design Company.to raise funds for the maintenance of our beautiful ancient church.
Accessibility: Thornton is a ridge village and so many of the gardens are on slopes or are terraced and are therefore not ideal for those in wheelchairs or with impaired mobility. Some of the pavements are also narrow. We have done our best to indicate on the programme which gardens are more suitable and can be enjoyed, but the geography of the location is not helpful.
