Dogs are also welcome but please check with each garden owner before entering their garden with your dog.

This locally run event helps to raise funds for the local Hanley Churches and is organised by Howard and Carol Hutchins. 

Visit Hanley Swan Open Gardens and enjoy the consummate English Village with all the requisite hallmarks:

  • A village green
  • A village pond 
  • A royal sized oak tree
  • The Swan Country Inn – refreshments will be available over the weekend
  • Village store 

Hanley Swan sits at the foothills of the fabulous Malvern Hills!

Over the May Spring Bank Holiday weekend, the villages enthusiastically invite you to share our good fortune and join our annual Garden Party. 

Below is a copy of a past leaflet so you can see a little information about the gardens on show most years. It does sometimes change from year to year, so if you’ve been before, you will certainly enjoy seeing how each garden has developed and catch up with any new gardens on the list. Each garden offers something different and everyone is so welcoming and interesting to chat to.

Enjoy a lovely stay in Hanley Swan and Escape to the Country at Orchard Side Bed and Breakfast and The Annex, self-catering, dog-friendly accommodation.
