Unfortunately Open Gardens 2020 had to be cancelled due to Covid-19! We have left up our report on the 2018 event to remind us of happier times!
====================================================
Was back by popular demand over the May Bank Holiday Weekend
Our 2018 festival of horticulture & heritage topped our 2016 event!
Click the picture below to see some of those previous 2016 shenanigans!
2018 had more gardens and more stalls and street shows than ever before!
Many visitors got right into step with the Live Music
Radio Leicester’s Down to Earth Karen Gimson & Josie Hutchinson rocked up!
Many Lost Stories of Cossington were aired again!
There was pause for thought at our Centenary World War I Exhibition
Lots of the nostalgia to appreciate at the Village Heritage Display.
A few green eyes admired the Collection of Vintage & Classic Cars
And the Hedgehog Hospital was quite a surprise! (Cossington Meadows stall)
A Roaming Magician tricked his way in and bewitched many with his spells.
The impressive Leicester Model Railway Group was the mother of all displays!
The Arts & Crafts displays brought an X-Factor to the event!
The Cream Tea’s & Pimms were sold out!
(as were the Posh Cakes & artisan Ice Creams!)
But thankfully the Royal Oak did not run out of beer!
Why not mark the 24th & 25th of May 2020 in your diaries and join us next time!
