Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early, especially on weekends, as tickets are limited and entry is not guaranteed without pre-booking.
  • Consider public transport as parking is very limited in the area; the 170 bus stops directly outside the garden.
  • Leave pushchairs at the designated area as they are not permitted inside the Fair to ensure smooth visitor flow.
  • Dress warmly and be prepared for potential rain, as much of the fair is covered by marquees but it is an outdoor event.
  • Friends of the Garden receive free entry, but guests will need to purchase a ticket.

Special Events & Promotions

  • 100% of proceeds support the Physic Garden's charitable mission.
  • Free entry for Friends of the Garden.
