Great Ouseburn Garden Festival
Sunday 31st May 2026, 11am - 5pm
Great Ouseburn’s annual garden festival has become a much-loved fixture in the open gardens calendar, attracting visitors from near and far. Each year, hundreds make their way to the village to explore over 15 stunning gardens, gather inspiration, chat with garden owners, enjoy live music and relax with delicious homemade refreshments in the welcoming village café.
Running since 1991, the event has grown in both size and spirit. Thanks to wide-reaching promotion, we now welcome visitors from across the region, including those making the trip over the Pennines for a day out!
Each year, the festival raises money for village causes close to our hearts - the church, school, cricket club, youth group and village hall. In June 2025, we raised a record-breaking £19,000, which is a truly remarkable achievement made possible by the generosity of our community and supporters.
