A heartfelt thank you to all the gardeners, volunteers, helpers, makers and bakers, and to our supporters, sponsors and every visitor who made the festival such a joy.

We're delighted to share that together we raised £22,500!

Dear Great Ouseburn Village Resident

With the annual Garden Festival taking place on Sunday 31st, we’re expecting a good number of visitors. To help keep the village moving safely, we’ll be encouraging people to use the designated car parks at either end of Great Ouseburn.

To support this, No Parking cones will be placed along Main Street from around 5pm on Saturday evening. If you’re able to move your vehicle off Main Street on Saturday evening and throughout Sunday, it would be a huge help and very much appreciated.

Thank you for your support, and we do hope you’ll be able to join us on Sunday.

🌸The Gnome Trail Returns!
With the Great Ouseburn Garden Festival gnoming ever closer on Sunday 31 May, we’re delighted to welcome back one of last year’s big hits - the garden gnomes of Oak Tree Cottage (No.16)!

Featured last year and again recently on BBC News, this charming gnome trail is full of character, colour and a little bit of mischief, making it a perfect stop for families and anyone who loves a touch of garden magic.

Come and spot the gnomes, big and small, cheeky and cheerful. www.govh.co.uk/go-garden-festival
