We celebrate our apples, bees and orchard produce at our September open day, with the help of the East of England Apples and Orchards Project.

The Gardens open 11am to 5pm, last entry 4pm. Adult entry £6.00 if bought in advance here or £7.50 on the gate. Children under 16 FREE. Dogs on leads welcome.

Children love making apple juice and apple crafts and we will have our famous jam and jelly tombola and apple and honey cake tasting stalls, as well as spot the queen bee and a special apple day trail. 

There will be craft and plant stalls and produce from the Gardens on sale. 

Our archivist will present a special display on the gardeners in Victorian times and the Archive Building will also be open for visitors to browse, with its fine collection of historical photographs and stories from Easton Lodge and its people. 

Sing-along to Bishops Stortford Ukelele Society strumming. 

Craft stalls.

Bacon/sausage rolls from the Giggly Pig and refreshments provided from Daisy’s: cheese/hummus rolls, homemade cakes and hot and cold drinks.

Advance tickets will be refunded if the Trust has to decide the Gardens cannot open, due to a significant risk to visitors and volunteers, for example from adverse weather or very poor ground conditions.
