Garden House, terrace seating area and lawn available for Events
Members and local community groups may hire the Garden House and terrace seating areas, and the lawn if appropriate, for Events such as parties and meetings. The booking is not for the Garden as a whole as we do not restrict entry to other Garden members during an Event.
We can normally accommodate only two Events (parties or meetings) per week and we do not take bookings for Sundays. For information about booking the Garden House, email Evelyn our Membership Secretary, at oldengarden1@gmail.com
