We always strive to not to disappoint anyone, however the abbey is completely sold out for today’s open gardens. I’m afraid we will not be able to accept any door admissions.
Tickets are on sale for Junes open gardens (link in bio) and we would gently encourage you to book ahead.

Those joining us for Friday’s Open Garden Day will have exclusive access to the Beeleigh Abbey estate plant and produce shop 🌿

A quieter extension of the estate itself, the shop brings together what is grown, raised and carefully produced here at Beeleigh.

Plants cultivated by Head Gardener Kaye and her team — from perennials and border plants to herbs and seasonal bedding — sit alongside produce from the wider estate, including wild honey from the Abbey’s own hives and hand-reared, organic lamb raised on the surrounding pasture.

Everything offered reflects the landscape beyond the garden walls: shaped by the seasons, by careful stewardship, and by the working life of the estate.

Lunches, teas and refreshments will be served in the courtyard throughout the day, offering time to pause within the setting of this historic place.

An invitation not only to wander the gardens, but to take a small part of Beeleigh home with you.

Tickets available through the website — links in bio.

Join us this Thursday, for a historic guided walk at Beeleigh Abbey 🌿

Led by local historian Stephen Nunn, whose connection to the Abbey spans a lifetime, these visits offer a quieter, more attentive way to understand the estate.

The story begins in 1180, with the founding of the Abbey, and unfolds gradually across the ground itself.

Peeling back the layers to re-discover the parts of the surviving east wing of the original monastic cloister. Proceeding past the surviving Chapter House and the site of the Abbey Church, to the lawn and the statue of the Abbey’s founder, Robert Mantell.

And at the close, a structure that would still be recognised by those who lived here centuries ago — a reminder of how much, and how little, has changed.

What is no longer visible begins, slowly, to take shape again.

A chance to walk through what endures.

Tickets for these events are limited.

There is a sense, in the gardens at Beeleigh, of time held lightly 🌿

Layers of history sit just beneath the surface — from the Abbey’s beginnings in 1180 to the quieter changes that followed.

Across May, our Open Garden Days on 8th and 22nd invite you to wander freely, with access to the estate plant and produce shop, and lunches, teas and refreshments served in the courtyard.

For a closer understanding, a guided historical walk will take place on 7th May, concluding with tea and cake.

Tickets are available via the link in bio.
