Event Description

A very popular annual event to raise money for Hanley churches, running over three days from Saturday 2 – Monday 4 May 2026 (open 12pm – 5pm daily).

Hanley Swan is an idyllic English village, with all the requisite hallmarks – a green, a pond with a paddling of ducks and Harold the heron, a royal-sized oak, ‘The Swan’, shops and vibrant businesses – all embraced by the fabulous Malvern Hills, and most importantly, an affable group of enthusiastic gardeners, anxious to welcome you to their pride and joys.

Over the first weekend in May, the garden owners warmly invite you to share in their good fortune and join the annual ‘Garden Party’.

In 2026, 15 gardens will be open, spread around the extended village – once updated, see the website for a map.

Tickets: £7.50 (free for children) to cover all 3 days (can be purchased on the day from any participating garden)

Plant sales from various gardens, toilets at The Grange and Brummel Court, light lunches/cream teas at The Grange, and cream teas in the church (St Gabriel’s).

Parking at St Gabriel’s Church and The Grange.
