A fresh and exciting event is set to take place this summer as Beverley Open Gardens makes its much-anticipated debut on Sunday, 27th July 2025, from 10am to 4pm, in partnership with BUG (Beverley Urban Gardeners).

This addition to Beverley’s community calendar invites visitors to enjoy a rare opportunity to explore some of the town’s most beautiful private gardens. Each garden offers something unique, from stunning floral displays and creative designs to light refreshments, and fun, all helping to raise funds for Dove House Hospice and BUG.

Entry is just £5 per adult, with under-16s admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Programmes can be purchased in advance at The Dove House Shop in Beverley and more to follow.

Tiffany Brodie, Community Fundraiser at Dove House Hospice, said: “Events like our Cottingham Open Gardens show the incredible power of community, raising over £10,000 each year to support local families. We’re so excited to bring that same energy and generosity to Beverley in partnership with BUG. A heartfelt thank you to every gardener taking part, your support helps us continue providing compassionate care to those who need it most.”

Whether visitors are garden enthusiasts or simply looking for a wonderful day out, Beverley Open Gardens 2025 is set to be a day of beauty, inspiration, and community spirit, all for a great cause.
