Advance Programmes for Chorlton Open Gardens
Programmes will be sold for us by four retailers in Chorlton, from the end of May 2026:
- Chorlton Bookshop, 506 Wilbraham Road, M21 9AW – open Monday – Saturday, 9.30am – 5.30pm
- The Curious Fox, Beech Road, M21, open Tuesday – Sunday, 11am – 5pm
- Chorlton Nursery, 18A Vicars Road, M21 9GY – open Friday – Sunday, 10am – 4pm
- Studio Critical, Oswald Road, – when open
- We will also sell programmes at weekends outside Unicorn Grocery, 89 Albany Road, M21 0BN. Look for our stall there on Saturdays and Sundays from Saturday 13th June.
Buying programmes during the Open Days
Programmes will be available on each open day. Each garden will have a supply, plus the shops listed above (if open), and our stall outside Unicorn Grocery:
- Saturday 27th June 2026 – from 10am – 3pm
- Sunday 28th June 2026 – from 10.30am – 3pm.
Programmes will be £5 per person per day, and admit one person (accompanied under-13s are free) to that day’s Open Garden sites.
Beneficiaries
All proceeds from programme sales go to Freedom from Torture and Chorlton Refugee Aid.
Proceeds from plant sales, art and craft sales, and from refreshments also go to our beneficiaries, except where a gardener is raising funds for their own charity; this will be clearly indicated in their gardens.
Thanks!
We’d like to offer huge thanks to the gardeners who open their spaces to the public.
We are entirely run by volunteers, and keep our admin costs as low as possible. Thanks to all the musicians, tea-makers and other volunteers who help each year.
We often receive discounts from printers and designers; our web designer Des Gregory from greenh.co.uk hosts us for free and has donated hours of work to upgrade our website.
