East Yorkshire village to host biennial open gardens event
The Editor
Seven gardens in the East Yorkshire village of Shiptonthorpe will open to the public on 4th and 5th July.
The biennial event, which also includes a scarecrow competition, is a fundraiser for All Saints’ Church in the village.
“The gardens, which include three that also open for the National Garden Scheme, are all distinctive and reflect the owners’ interest and passion. The styles and sizes are all different, which makes it even more enjoyable wandering and admiring each one as well as meeting the owners,” said organiser Jean Bean.
The combined entry cost to all seven gardens is £7.00 for adults and free for children. Tickets are available from the Village Hall, the Playing Fields Car Park and Brookside, which is next to the pedestrian crossing on the A1079. Parking is in the Village Hall and on the Playing Fields. For more information about the Open Gardens, please call Mrs Bean on 07968 749107.
The gardens will be open from 11am to 5pm, and light refreshments will be served in the Village Hall between 11.30am and 4.30pm on both days.
