Visit the Lincoln’s Inn gardens on Saturday 7 June 2025 for a fun-filled day as part of the Open Gardens Festival 2025.

Join a free guided tour led by our Head Gardener, or explore the grounds at your own pace. Along the way, enjoy a range of activities — play lawn games, follow the garden trail, get your face painted, and try on a barrister’s wig and gown. There’ll also be a plant sale for charity (cash only so bring some coins!), and live music from the Deansfield School Choir will keep you entertained. You’re welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawn, or relax with light refreshments from the MCR Restaurant and Bar. A perfect day out for all ages!

What is Open Gardens Festival?

London Open Gardens weekend is an annual event where ticket holders can visit 100+ hidden gardens in London. This year it takes place 7 & 8 June (PLEASE NOTE: Lincoln’s Inn is only participating on Saturday 7 June, and will be closed on Sunday 8 June).

From secret, unseen gardens of historic institutions, to breathtaking roof top escapes and much-loved community allotments, the Open Gardens Festival is your chance to visit the lesser-known green spaces of London and meet the people behind them.

Whether you’re a garden enthusiastic, a London lover, or are looking for a fun way to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, London Open Gardens, now in its 26th year, is a one-of-a-kind event that you don’t want to miss. Your ticket also raises much-needed funds for charity London Parks and Gardens who are a charity working to protect parks and gardens in London for future generations.
