The much-loved Marton cum Grafton Open Gardens and Festival returns on Sunday 21st June 2026, offering visitors a vibrant summer day out celebrating gardens, community, and village life.

This year’s event introduces exciting new family-friendly attractions, including a farm animal petting area and a large inflatable slide, adding even more entertainment for younger visitors and families. Alongside the gardens, the event will feature a wide range of attractions, including:
• Church floral displays
• Local art exhibition
• Vintage and supercar showcase
• Traditional village fête with farm animals and games
Food and drink will be available throughout the day, including hearty lunches, BBQ sausages, homemade cakes, WI teas, ice creams, and a Pimm’s and Airstream bar.
Tickets can now be booked online in advance at a reduced price of £6, with on-the-day admission £7.50 for adults and free entry for children under 16, making it excellent value for a full day out. All proceeds from the event will support valuable local community projects, helping to sustain and enhance village life.
A much-loved fixture in the local calendar, the event offers the perfect blend of beautiful gardens, family fun, and traditional English summer atmosphere.
