If you have ever fancied a peek behind the garden walls of one of Rutland’s most picturesque villages, your chance has arrived.
On Sunday, 21st June 2026, the lovely village of Wing is opening its gates to welcome visitors for the annual Wing Open Gardens. This delightful event offers a rare opportunity to step inside beautiful private gardens that are not usually open to the public, providing the perfect recipe for a quintessentially English summer afternoon.
Whether you are looking for design inspiration for your own green space or simply want a relaxing stroll in the sunshine, the village has a wonderful variety of horticultural styles on display:
Inspirational Spaces: Wander through a diverse mix of gardens, ranging from classic, blooming cottage planting to larger, meticulously landscaped country spaces.
Homemade Teas & Cakes: No proper village garden tour is complete without refreshments! You can look forward to treating yourself to a delicious selection of homemade cakes and fresh teas available throughout the afternoon.
Plant Sales: Feeling inspired by what you see? There will be a variety of plants for sale, allowing you to take a little piece of the day's beauty home to your own garden.
Explore at Your Own Pace: There is no rush—visitors are encouraged to leisurely wander the historic streets and paths of Wing at their own perfect speed.
Beyond being a brilliant day out for plant lovers and families alike, Wing Open Gardens is an event with a fantastic cause at its core.
Every ticket, slice of cake, and plant purchased helps give back to the local area. All funds raised throughout the afternoon will go directly toward supporting two vital pillars of the community: Wing Village Hall and the historic St Peter & St Paul Church.
