An Afternoon Open Garden at Turn End. Late June sees the garden in full bloom, with cascades of scented climbing roses, the flamboyant flowers of bearded irises and a rich tapestry of colour in the borders. Explore the enchanting series of garden spaces including the dry garden with its grasses and pots of succulents, the cool shady spring garden under old apples trees, grassy glades under mature trees, and a secluded courtyard with a pool and fountain. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to explore each garden room or find a quiet place to take a moment, relax and unwind. Turn End’s Grade II‑listed garden, designed by Peter as an integral extension of the house, is a rare post‑war example where architecture and landscape were created by the same hand. In less than an acre, space is used to create an illusion of size - courtyards with pools, a small woodland around old apple trees, a curved glade leading to a series of garden rooms – sunken or raised, sunny or shady, geometric or informal. £9.00 (Friends: free, Children (5-16 years): £4.00 children under 5s: free) Buy Tickets

2026: A visit to Picker House – House, Garden and Gallery Tour

SORRY THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT. With kind permission of the Stanley Picker Trust. Join us for a rare visit to Picker House: an exceptional example of late modernist domestic architecture and a remarkable expression of the cosmopolitan life of its original owner, Stanley Picker. Designed by architect Kenneth Wood and completed in 1968, the house remains an extraordinary time capsule of late‑1960s luxury — a private residence conceived to showcase Picker’s outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art. Number One, Picker is the private home of Stanley Picker, a cosmetics magnate who made his fortune in the sixties and commissioned architect Kenneth Wood to design and build a beautiful modern home in Surrey, with the interiors and furnishings contract fulfilled by the Conran Group. Originally commissioned in 1965 and completed in 1968, the house has been held in trust since Stanley’s death in 1982, with all the original furniture and interior decor still in place - the house is a wonderful time capsule to the very best in design and architecture that the mid sixties had to offer. This 2-hour tour will be led by one of the Stanley Picker Trust’s longstanding and knowledgeable guides. They will lead us through the house and share insights into Stanley Picker’s history, the design and construction of the building, the commissioned furniture, and the art collection housed on site.
