Sway Open Gardens
Sunday 7th June
Visit private gardens in the village of Sway in the heart of the New Forest
Join us for a day out in the village of Sway
The Sway Gardening Club and the Villagers of Sway look forward to welcoming you to Sway Open Gardens 2026, taking place from 11am to 5pm on Sunday 7th June.
The village of Sway is located in the heart of the New Forest National Park, between Lymington, New Milton and Brockenhurst. Every other year, villagers open their beautifully-tended gardens to the public for one day in support of Oakhaven Hospice.
This year, more than 17 beautiful gardens will be open to visitors throughout the day - gardens of all shapes and sizes.
At the village Church Rooms and Youth Centre, there will be a plant stall with a wide range of plants available for purchase as well as refreshments, musical entertainment and a raffle with a variety of super prizes up for grabs!
Your 'Ticket Programme' will grant you entrance to the open gardens. Tickets cost £8 in advance or £10 on the day. Accompanied children go free. Tickets can be purchased online in advance, or from Sway Post Office from the end of April. On the day, tickets will be available at £10 per adult from Jubilee Field, from Sway Youth Centre (cash or card) or at the entrance to each garden (cash only).
All proceeds will go to Oakhaven Hospice.
