Britain's What's On Event Guide
Captain's Garden, Deal Castle
Heritage Open Day: Historically this was an ornamental and a kitchen garden for the Captain of Deal Castle, a very prestigious post in its time. For years neglected, it is now being brought back into use. Members of Deal Hop Farms will be on hand to tell you about their work and English Heritage volunteers will be there to explain the history of the site.
The land behind the buildings was created as a garden about 1733 for Admiral John Norris, who was then Captain of Deal Castle. The garden remained in use and was converted to wartime allotments, before being let as a market garden until the early 1980s.
