In 1974 Cerne Abbas opened a few of its private gardens to raise money for a good cause. Fifty years, and 48 openings, later we will open about 25 private gardens once again on 15th and 16th June from 2 -6 pm. Last year's event featured in the Chanel 5 series "Dorset Country & Coast". This year's proceeds will be divided to support an archaeological dig in Cerne to discover more about the abbey and the restoration of the ancient church in Godmanstone. Entrance to all gardens is by a single day ticket which costs £8 for adults and accompanying younger folk under 16 are free. A few gardens are accessible on wheelchairs and most gardens accept well behaved dogs on leads. There is a well-regarded plant stall and teas are provided by the local Youth Club, both commencing at 1pm. Almost all gardens are within easy walking distance of the free car park, also open at 1pm, and are located on maps distributed with the ticket.
