Open Gardens in Thornton (nr Markfield)

Come and visit our lovely rural village which enjoys delightful views over Thornton reservoir. What better way to spend a sunny summer afternoon?

There will be stalls and other attractions around the village and St. Peter's Church will be open. Teas and refreshments will be available at the Community Centre and in some gardens.

Dogs on leads are welcome at many of the gardens.

Accessibility: It should be noted that Thornton is built on a ridge and so many of the gardens are on slopes or are terraced with steps and are therefore not ideal for those in wheelchairs or with impaired mobility. Some of the pavements are also narrow. Our printed programme attempts to indicate those more suitable.
