Events and Open Days

Though not normally open for public access, during the course of each year, Blagdon Estate hosts a number of prestigious charity events.

Below are details of Blagdon's events calendar. You will be made most welcome on these occasions, and will be sure to find the Estate a delightful place to visit.

We encourage approaches from all charities and societies who would like to use the grounds to assist in their fundraising activities by inviting the general public to visit Blagdon, if you would like to be considered, please contact the Estate Office.

Many Thanks to all who helped or attended the open gardens on Sunday 18th April. Despite the appalling weather, we raised nearly £2,000 all of which goes to the British Red Cross.
