Gardens of Eaton Hall opened for charity

The first of the three Eaton Hall Gardens Charity Open Days in 2022 takes place this Sunday, raising important funds and awareness for local charities.

The Eaton Hall Gardens Charity Open Days on Grosvenor’s Eaton Estate near Chester will be open from 10.30am until 5pm on 26 June, 31 July, and 28 August in aid of Cheshire Young Carers, Cheshire Wildlife Trust and Kidsbank.

Unlike in previous years, tickets are now only available in advance via Eventbrite – there will be no tickets available on the gates.

Visitors can explore the 88-acre gardens of Eaton Hall, home to the Duke of Westminster, which include colour-themed rose gardens and herbaceous borders, a recently completed hot border design and a stunning bedding scheme in the dragon garden. In addition, there is a walled kitchen garden, a wildflower garden and a lake walk as well as a tea house filled with roses and herbs.

Beyond the gardens, the Courtyard contains the Eaton chapel, featuring stained-glass windows by Frederic James Shields dating back to 1870, a carriage museum and stables as well as the family history exhibition.
Tickets for rides on the historic narrow-gauge Eaton railway, which previously connected the Hall to mainline services at nearby Baldteron to transport deliveries and fuel, can be purchased with event tickets online.

Each charity will host one of the three events with information stands and fundraising stalls in the Courtyard for visitors to find out more about their work.

Parking at the Gardens Charity Open Days is free. There is free hire of mobility equipment, subject to availability, which must be pre-booked with event tickets.

Dogs are welcome though they must be kept on a lead at all times and visitors are asked to clean up after their pets.
