Hinton St Mary Open Gardens

This year's Gardens Open Weekend to raise funds for St Peter's Church will be held on 17th and 18th June from 2 pm to 6 pm on each day. The Manor House Gardens will be open as well as over 20 other gardens in the village. This event takes place every two years and its financial success is essential to the future of the Church.

Cream teas and home-made cakes will be served in the Tithe Barn, and there will be plants, collectables and second-hand books on sale.

There will also be an exhibition of sculpture, including a number by local young people in the Manor Gardens.

Hinton St Mary is a small picturesque village with a number of thatched and listed cottages located one mile north of Sturminster Newton and some eight miles from Shaftesbury. It is well known to archaeologists for the important Roman Mosaic discovered in 1963, which is now displayed in the British Museum and is considered to be the world’s first depiction of the head of Christ.

Admission £5.00 - children free.
