Britain's What's On Event Guide
Claremont Landscape Garden
Heritage Open Day: Discover this grade I listed garden created by the great landscape designers of the 18th century which charts the evolution of the English Landscape Garden Steeped in nearly 300 years of history, this eighteenth-century garden is a green oasis in the heart of Surrey within easy reach of London. Previously the countryside retreat of queens and heirs, Claremont has always been somewhere to escape everyday life and enjoy simple outdoor pleasures.
Many of the great names in landscape design history played a part in the creation of the estate. Over the years Sir John Vanbrugh, Charles Bridgeman, William Kent and ‘Capability’ Brown all put their own distinctive stamp on the pleasure grounds, and in 1866 Queen Victoria herself acquired the estate to save it from development.
On Saturday 14 September, the amphitheatre will be open for visitors to enjoy.
