Welcome to The Hidden Gardens of Bury
The Hidden Gardens is one of our flagship events and all money raised is given to St Nicholas Hospice Care.
Bury St Edmunds has many fine and historic buildings, but Hidden Gardens gives people the chance to discover the secret patios, lawns, borders, vegetable gardens, greenhouses and other features behind their facades and high walls.
With over 25 different gardens open, you may want to concentrate on a handful and take a break to soak up the garden party atmosphere and enjoy the refreshments on offer.
Some of these gardens have been tended for many generations, while others are only now coming to maturity or are still very new. Be prepared to be surprised and inspired.
Thank you to all who helped raise an amazing £22,369 in 2024.
The gardens open this year will be listed in the programme
– which is also the ticket –
with a map to plan your visit
2025 will be the 38th year of Hidden Gardens and it has now raised over £375,000 for the local hospice.
We hope you will enjoy being a part of this wonderful summer event which raises money for such a good cause.
Most of the gardens belong to old properties where there may be steps, so please take care.
