Middlewick returns in June 2026
Friday, 14 November 2025
The ever-popular charity fundraiser, Middlewick House Open Garden, will return in June 2026 with a host of changes aimed at improving visitor experience.
Nick and Annette Mason will once again kindly welcome the public into their Open Garden across the weekend of 6 - 7 June to raise funds for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity and The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust.
The event has been running since 2013 and has become the biggest fundraiser of its kind in the region, with the 2025 edition generating a record £200,000 to be split between the two charities.
Over 15,000 people attended last year’s event, which put a huge strain on the roads around Corsham and particularly on parking at the house.
Subsequently, to help manage attendance and parking more effectively for the 2026 event, it has been decided that entry will be limited to those who have purchased tickets in advance.
Additionally, to ensure a smooth traffic flow, only vehicles displaying a valid parking pass (issued with pre-purchased tickets) will be permitted to enter the event car parks.
Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity chief executive designate Barbara Gray said: “We can’t thank our ambassadors Nick and Annette enough for hosting this event again to raise funds for two essential charities in the community.
“We hope the changes that have been made will make everyone’s experience of Middlewick House Open Garden 2026 even better than ever before.”
Jennie Shaw, director of The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust, said: “Middlewick House Open Garden gets bigger and bigger each year, with people travelling from across the UK and the world to attend.
“We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation in helping us deliver a safe and enjoyable experience for all who wish to attend the event.”
Attendees to Middlewick House will be able to wander around the garden and see a menagerie of animals.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick will have his huge collection of classic and high-performance cars on display, whilst there will also be stalls from local traders to browse, with lots of items for sale, including jewellery, plants, candles and art.
