The Seven Roads summer weekend
Every year we hold a summer weekend for the Seven Roads. Details vary from year to year, but there is usually a Saturday early evening picnic, an outdoor film screening, and a teatime gathering on Sunday. Previous Weekends have featured plant stalls, road closures with bouncy castle and other games, and neighbours opening their gardens for visits.
Our 2021 Summer Event spanned two weekends
- Open Gardens and a plant sale took place on 10th and 11th July, with 22 lovely gardens open and a steady stream of interested visitors. Thanks to everyone who opened their gardens so we could all enjoy them!
- On 11th September we held a picnic and outdoor film screening in the River Garden, and on 12th September a tea party at Hawkswell Farmhouse by kind permission of the owners. Well over 100 neighbours joined us for tea and cakes.
Our 2020 Summer Event
… took place on Sunday 28th June. The event was carefully tailored to take account of Covid special circumstances. Visit our 2020 Summer Event page for more details.
