Coming up next Sunday and practically next door. Titchfield always has lots of interesting gardens open, with most of them within walking distance of St Peter's church.

A much-anticipated tradition returns - the Titchfield Open Gardens takes place on the 7th June 2026!

A whole host of returning, stunning gardens as well as new gardeners showing off their amazing landscapes for the first time will welcome you around Titchfield village! Buy your ticket on the day or secure it now at Ticketsource (link below!) and arrive at St Peter's Church, Titchfield, to collect your wristband, your map, and chat to our guides to work out the best route for you!

Note: Shore Leave Haslar is now open from 11-2 on open days, not 11-1 as stated in the current newsletter. Hours will be corrected in the autumn edition.

“UPDATE REGARDING OUR OPEN DAYS”

We are pleased to let you know that from our May Open Day we will be staying open until 2 pm.

We hope these extended hours will enable more people to enjoy the wonderful Memorial Garden. Please spread the word.

Thank you
