A special day honouring the Gardens' fascinating connections to both World Wars.

Easton Lodge played a remarkable role in both conflicts - training soldiers heading to WWI and hosting an airfield during WWII. Through displays from the Trust's archives, you'll discover the stories of the brave men and women involved. Local museum and community groups will join us with additional displays (programme to be confirmed), and the Lancashire Belle will fill the gardens with evocative songs from the era - perfect for a sing-along!

The Gardens in June:
June brings the Gardens to their peak - bursting with colour and life. The walled kitchen garden is productive and beautiful, with vegetables growing apace and garden produce available to take home.

For families:
Children can enjoy a special garden trail and crafts - there's something to engage visitors of all ages.

Shopping & browsing:
Browse craft stalls and pick up fresh garden produce to take home.

Food & refreshments:
The Giggly Pig will be serving bacon and sausage rolls. Daisy's kiosk will offer cheese and hummus rolls, homemade cakes, and a selection of hot and cold drinks.
