SURREY GARDEN TRUST SUMMER PARTY

West Horsley Place, Epsom Road, Guildford KT24 6AN
Tickets available here

Join us for our Surrey Gardens Trust Summer Party, an opportunity to come together in the wonderful setting of the Serpentine Garden at West Horsley Place.  PlayGC are a highly professional theatre group and have written a wonderful piece, perfect for a barmy sunny afternoon’s entertainment (but equally up to the task of raising the spirits on an inclement day!)  Bring your friends and family, young and old for a picnic on the grass or however you like! The ticket will cover the garden hire and a modest PlayGC fee. All additional proceeds will be donated to the garden team at West Horsley Place to help them maintain this important historic garden.

Bring your own picnic and refreshments, a rug and chairs and an umbrella if the weather forecast dictates…the show will go on!
