Special Garden Events in Dorset

These are a small number of gardens where the open day events offer something extra such a talk by the head gardener, special refreshments or privileged access. Click on the links below to find out more about the garden and book tickets.

THE PIG on the Beach, Swanage

Immerse yourself in all things homegrown over at THE PIG-on the beach! Starting at 10:30 with tea, coffee and pastries, you’ll then be taken around the grounds of THE PIG’s Studland patch, seeing first hand what’s growing and what’s ready for harvest. During your time with the team, you’ll be joined by THE PIG’s Group Head Kitchen Gardener, Ollie Hutson, who can share with you his extensive knowledge. After your tour, you’ll head into the restaurant for a light feasting-style lunch with views that look out to Old Harrys Rocks. Opens Thursday 5th September, pre-booking essential.
