This weekend and the next sees a Garden-style version of the Open Houses event take place with a city-wide trail extending all the way to Lewes. Instead of houses and artwork, today over 60 beautiful private garden and community spaces open their gates for this year's Sussex Beacon Garden Gadabout.
Coming into its 16th year gardens throughout Brighton are open to the public to nose about shady nooks, suntraps, blossoming dustbins, shed roofs spouting vegetables, overflowing allotments and our topical favourite; community gardens. This includes tours through the atmospheric Monks House and the Royal Pavilion Gardens.
Most are littered with cakes and teas and sweet things, and we love the sound of this in the sunshine. We love the sound of a couple of places on Richmond Road, for starters - and the Sussex Beacon, sponsors of the event, is worth a pop into - not only for the garden but for a look around the volunteer-organised centre helping people living with HIV which is putting on a couple of nice tombola-esque events.
Running until 3rd & 4th July.
Time: Most open 11am-6pm
