Wasing Estate

The Wasing Estate will open its stunning Walled Garden to the public for a charity open day in June. The Walled Garden Open Day will take place on the estate in Aldermaston, Berkshire, on Sunday 2nd June from 2pm until 5pm in aid of Mencap. Nestled in the heart of the Estate, Wasing’s magical walled garden truly is an oasis of calm which promises to stimulate the senses and will be a real treat for any green-fingered fans. Guests are invited to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Victorian era walled garden, originally the kitchen gardens for Wasing Place, the manor house located on the estate. The Open Day is guaranteed fun for all the family with competitions for children, garden games, a raffle and even a guided meditation session under the Ginkgo Tree. Children are asked to have a go at designing their own garden in a biscuit tin lid and to bring it along on the day to be judged by Wasing’s head gardener. Owner of the Wasing Estate, Joshua Dugdale, says: “Now home to endless flora and fauna, including a stunningly scented rose walkway, our Secret Walled Garden has hosted an array of events including weddings and yoga retreats and is lovingly cared for by our garden team. We can’t wait for you to experience it for yourselves.” Parking will be in the main car park at Wasing Park, and everyone is invited to have a look around the stunning wedding venue before walking down to the Walled Garden for the afternoon activities. Remember to bring along a picnic blanket! Refreshments including cream teas, ice creams and Pimms will be available to purchase on the day. There will also be stalls selling local produce. Entry tickets are priced £5 per person, children up to 12 are welcome free of charge. For full details click here Everyone is also welcome to take a look around the stunning wedding and events venue.
