This year, there are 30 gardens to visit, many new gardens and gardens that are open again after several years . Schedules with all the details, cost £10, which includes both days. Free to anyone 16 years and under and carers.

Schedules can be bought in advance from Apples and Pears and Seymours in Horsell High Street and from open gardens on the day.

This is a great way to see gardens large and small, manicured or wild. The allotments will be open and there will be a "Community garden trail" celebrating the work done locally by Horsell volunteers. Wonderful cakes and tea will be available in several gardens. Proceeds from the schedules and sale of teas are all donated to a charity. This year, we will donate to Woking and Sam Beare Hospices, Horsell Care and Horsell Village Hall.

Horsell Garden Safari offers a chance to chat to gardeners and to meet up with friends. A really relaxing way to spend a summer's weekend.

The aim of the Christmas Market is to promote the wonderful skills of local artisans and give them an outlet to sell their wares, to bring in extra business to the brilliant High Street shops and to brighten dull December days and bring the local community together.

A great atmosphere is created with participation of local shops and pubs, children's activities, music from local bands and carol singing.

We recognise that the success of this event is down to a good mix of really skillful and hard working stallholders together with supportive shops and businesses. We also have a good team of volunteers that makes sure everything is well organised and everyone is well looked after: communication, organisation and caring!

The Christmas Market is totally self-funding with generous sponsorship from local shops and businesses. Stall holders are charged fair and competitive rates with a number of tables for charities made available at no charge.
