Britain's What's On Event Guide
Morley Village Open Gardens
Morley is a rural parish set on the sandstone plateau just north of Derby. In this our fifth year, more than 25 large and small gardens and allotments will be open to the public, some with historical interest, one with alpacas, one with a miniature railway, but all with interest for the garden lover.
Morley consists of a number of scattered settlements connected by lanes and field footpaths. Being a scattered rural village, there is the potential for keen walkers to use the field paths to move between the different settlements, but many visitors will prefer to drive, given the lack of pavements on our lanes.
The beautiful St Matthews Church and its churchyard and adjacent mausoleum will also be open for visitors. Refreshments will be available in a number of gardens throughout the village.
Proceeds in aid of St Matthews Church.
