Marchington, near Ashbourne, on the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, is opening its gardens this weekend. There will be a variety of gardens to visit and some of them will be new additions to the event.

We are pleased to say we will be offering free shuttle buses to get around the gardens although it's a lovely village to walk around too. Postcode for sat nav: ST14 8LL.

£5 adults and children free.

Refreshments will be available at several locations including ploughman's lunches, tea and cake, scones with delicious jam and cream, ice creams, and a tipple. Our community shop will be hosting a breakfast BBQ to start your day from 9.00am.

Proceeds from the Open Gardens event will go to support the Community Shop which run by volunteers.

The Open Gardens will form part of our very popular Marchington Festival which will include scarecrows, vintage and military vehicle display, food and craft fair, daft dog show, church photography exhibition, gardeners' question time, live music, family games and more.
