An Invitation to a Summer Evening at Heveningham Hall, with talk by renowned garden designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd
On Monday 22nd June from 4.45 to 7pm, join us for a special summer evening with exclusive access to the private walled garden at Heveningham Hall, featuring a talk by the renowned garden designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd.
Over the past 30 years, the current owners have lovingly restored Heveningham Hall and its grounds, including the Grade I listed mansion. Arabella contributed to the design of the remarkable walled garden with its serpentine wall, where the event will be hosted. The estate sits within the historic Capability Brown parkland and has been carefully enhanced in collaboration with contemporary landscape architect Kim Wilkie.
Arabella Lennox-Boyd will share insights from her distinguished international career, spanning public commissions and private estates around the world, as well as her multiple RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medals.
The evening will include champagne and strawberries, time to explore and enjoy the beautiful walled garden, and the opportunity to socialise with members and friends of SPS in a truly exceptional setting.
