Tickets for the May open gardens are sold out, but it’s not the end of the story…

Just outside the village of Hartfield lies Cotchford Farm, former home of the Milne family and the place from which Christopher Robin and his father would head out on the walks up onto Ashdown Forest, the place that inspired the stories of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends.

This May, the owners of this spectacular home are very generously opening the gardens to the public in support of Ashdown Forest. We are delighted to share that this event is now SOLD OUT. Additional tickets will not be available on the door.

If you missed out on a ticket this time, there is one more chance this year. The gardens will open again on 12th & 13th September. Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks. To receive an email alert to let you know when tickets go on sale, sign up via this online form here.

All funds from both events will support The Ashdown Forest Foundation, the charitable arm of the Conservators of Ashdown Forest tasked with raising funds to ensure the best possible future for the Forest.
