IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Gilden Way Closures
Access to the Garden will be affected by the planned closure of Gilden Way (B183) for resurfacing work over all weekends between Friday June 18th and Monday July 19th.
Gilden Way will be closed from 8pm on each Friday to 6am on the following Monday from the roundabout on London Road (by Mark Hall school) to the Churchgate roundabout. There will be very limited access only for residents.
We understand that the official diversion route (to allow for HGVs) is via Bishops Stortford and Hatfield Heath.
By car it will be possible to get access to the Churchgate roundabout and from there to the Garden entrance at Marsh Lane by going via Potter Street and Harlow Common or via Matching Tye.
Access will also be possible via Sawbridgeworth Station Road then by Lower Sheering or Hatfield Heath.

There is also pedestrian/cycle access from Old Road via the new path through the Gilden Park housing area by following the signs to Marsh Lane.
Due to these closures we have changed the date of most events that were planned between the road closure dates. For more details see the What’s On page.
We will be open on Sundays from 2-5 pm on the weekends of the Gilden Way closures and hope that you will visit us.
Sunday and Wednesday opening times are between 2 – 5 pm with last entry at 4 pm.
Refreshments are now available inside the barn, with social distancing in place. Our shop is also fully open.

Please continue to enjoy the images of the garden captured by our friends, volunteers and gardeners on our Spring Picture Gallery.
