About
Elkstone Open Gardens; Sunday 23rd June 2024 2:00 - 6:00 pm.
Organised and supported by villagers to raise funds for upkeep of the local church and the Village Hall villagers will welcome you to this event which offers a unique opportunity to visit this historical Cotswold village and see it in detail not normally accessible to the casual visitor. Amble through a selection of beautiful private gardens, enjoy cream teas, homemade cakes, or ice creams and buy plants from their plant stall.
The church, which is the highest in the Cotswolds, is known for its unusual dovecote above the chancel and its quite exceptional Norman arches in the chancel and sanctuary bathed in golden light. It boasts a wonderful Norman tympanum above the south door. The bells, which date from 1657 to 1977, have recently been restored and retuned and they will ring out to celebrate the day. They hang on a working medieval bell frame which has recently been identified as of national historical significance. You will also have the opportunity to hear a local choir singing in the church.
All profits raised support the church and village hall. Free parking. Adults £7.50, children under 16 free. Support dogs only in the gardens please.
