The Evelyn Gardens, located within Albury Park in Surrey, will extend its public opening programme in 2026, welcoming visitors across 28 selected days from May to September in an expansion of its usual schedule.

Traditionally open to the public twice a year in support of the National Garden Scheme, the gardens will this year offer increased access while continuing to support the scheme. The extended programme provides a rare opportunity to explore this historic landscape throughout the changing seasons.

The Evelyn Gardens is a rare and beautifully preserved example of 17th-century formal garden design. Set within a secluded landscape, it is renowned for its quarter-mile-long terraces and distinguished collection of mature trees.

By spreading opening dates across the summer months, visitors will be able to experience the gardens at different stages of the season, from the fresh growth of late spring to the colour of late summer.

Due to the limited number of opening dates, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead.
