Each summer, the Crickhowell Open Gardens event transforms our local market town into a vibrant tapestry of colour, creativity, and community spirit. It is just a five-minute drive from Cwmdu Campsite. This annual celebration invites visitors to step behind the garden gates of some of the town’s most beautiful private gardens.
The event usually takes place over a weekend in early summer, when flowers are in full bloom. The Brecon Beacons are also at their most picturesque. From cottage gardens overflowing with wildflowers to perfectly sculpted landscapes, every garden tells a different story. Vegetable patches are bursting with life.
Wander through winding paths. Admire creative planting schemes, and chat with local gardeners. They are always happy to share tips and tales about their work. Many gardens also serve tea, homemade cakes, and refreshments, adding a delicious touch to your afternoon stroll.
The Crickhowell Open Gardens is organised by dedicated volunteers, with proceeds supporting local charities and community projects. It’s a true celebration of Welsh hospitality — relaxed, welcoming, and full of heart.
Tip: Pick up a garden map in Crickhowell town centre and plan your own self-guided route.
If you’re staying at Cwmdu Campsite, this event is a perfect way to spend a sunny day immersed in nature and local culture.
