An evening out in the Lambeth Palace Gardens

1/5/2021

The National garden Scheme is now busy with gardens to visit throughout May and June   Of particular interest may be Lambeth Palace which will be open in the evening to visitors on May 17th from 5.00 pm to 9.00 pm.

In addition to enjoying the gardens you will also be able to listen to The Secret Life Sax Quartet – people may remember they played at our last spring fair in 2019!  

There is disabled access and you will be able to purchase wine and soft drinks to enjoy while you listen to the music and walk around the garden.

Lambeth Palace has one of the oldest and largest private gardens in London. It has been occupied by Archbishops of Canterbury since 1197. It includes a formal courtyard which boasts an historic White Marseilles fig planted in 1556, parkland style garden features, mature trees, and woodland and native planting. There is also a formal rose terrace, summer gravel border, scented chapel garden and active beehives.
