London Open Garden Squares Weekend

Around 200 gardens take part in the London Open Garden Squares Weekend each year, and Arnold Circus has been taking part for a few years now. The day brings new visitors to the Boundary Estate to see our historic Circus, enjoy the space, and admire the handiwork of Andy Willoughby, our brilliant gardener. 

Further details of the London Open Squares Weekend can be found here, and the details for visiting Arnold Circus are here.

They have some very kind words to say about Arnold Circus: 

“These gardens have been restored to their original beauty. They highlight the principles of sympathetically revitalising buildings ‘at risk’ and registered landscapes, making them more sustainable, accessible and attractive. The wider community is delighted with their renewed cultural and much-loved space, used for a diverse range of events.”
