Events & Open Days

Though not normally open for public access, during the course of each year, Blagdon Estate hosts a number of prestigious events and charity open days.

We are regularly approached by charities and societies who would like to use the grounds to assist in their fundraising activities by inviting the general public to visit Blagdon. We discuss these requests towards the end of each year, for the following year.

100% of all takings from open days go to the charity involved. The charity open days are the only days throughout the year when Blagdon does open for members of the public. Bookings to attend the events are through the organising charities.

For 2025, the following dates have been allocated to charities to host their own Open Garden events at Blagdon.  Further details will follow on how to contact each charity regarding entry/tickets. 

13th of April – North East Sight Matters

25th of May – National Garden Scheme

22nd of June – St Oswald’s Hospice

21st of September – Plant Heritage

5th of October – Hospice Care
