WHAT’S ON
In and Around Oundle
Tansor Open Gardens
15th June, 2-5pm
To kick off summer, the village of Tansor, near Oundle, is swinging its gates wide open for a behind-the-scenes look into some of its most beautiful gardens. There’s plenty to see – from traditional English gardens to more natural projects teeming with native wildlife. Plus, the gardeners themselves will be on hand to share their vision and wax lyrical about all things botanical.
Whether you’re looking for an afternoon out, a touch of inspiration or tips on managing your own garden, it promises to be a blooming marvellous day.
All proceeds will go to supporting the restoration and upkeep of St Mary’s – our beautiful Norman church. £5 suggested donation for adults, but kids go free – all are welcome.
Pop along for:
• A leisurely stroll around our picturesque village’s unique gardens
• A warm welcome in St Mary’s Church
• Homegrown plants and cuttings for sale
• Refreshments, including tea and homemade
cakes
• Free parking
