May Events - Dates for your diary!

The season is already in full swing at Lullingstone Castle as we celebrate The World Garden's 10th anniversary. Thank you to all our visitors who came for Easter fun and with the Bank Holiday in sight I thought it an ideal time to share our fantastic May events.

With an action packed events calendar there is something for everyone, enjoy a wonderful mix of horticulture and heritage in the stunning Kent countryside.

See you very soon!

Renault Rally

Join us on Sunday 3rd May - 12 noon until 5pm for our Renault 4 car rally.

The Renault 4 car rally is an informal gathering of classic French car enthusiasts showcasing their ‘pride and joy’. A fantastic chance to admire the iconic cars and mingle with the owners in a stunning picturesque setting. 

Visitors also have the opportunity to take a stroll around the World Garden and visit the house, with light refreshments available to purchase in the marquee on the lawn.

Flower Power

April at The World Garden has seen a profusion of blooms and first time flowering.

We are delighted to announce our very own Puya gilmartiniae flowered in the 'Hot & Spikey' House. We believe it's the first time in the UK!

This superb species is a type of Bromeliad (cousin of the Pineapple) is over 15 years old and endemic to Chile. It's endowed with a flower spike lasting many weeks, watch out though it's very spiky! 

 
 
 

Medieval Fun!

Over the late May Bank Holiday, Lullingstone will be transformed into an amazing medieval village.

Join us on the 24th and 25th May - 11am until 5pm. Step back in time to experience the authentic sights and sounds with 'living history' displays, character dress, campfires, tents and medieval weapons, courtesy of the remarkable Woodvilles medieval re-enactment group.
