The Botanic Garden will keep its gates open until 9pm tonight for the first in a series of late summer openings.
Low summer sun and warm evenings will hopefully cast a magical glow over the Botanic Garden on the first and third Wednesdays of June, July and August, beginning this evening.
Visitors might even be lucky enough to spot bats, the resident foxes and badgers, or a grass snake taking an evening swim!
In response to positive feedback after last year’s trial evening openings and with the welcome support of Corporate Friends Mills & Reeve and Renaissance East of England, the Garden is staying open even later, until 9pm on 1 and 15 June and 6 and 20 July. On 3 and 17 August, as the nights draw in, the Garden will stay open until 8pm.
To really relax after a long day, a walking tour of the Garden’s summer highlights is just the ticket. The one-hour tours leave the Brookside Gate at 5.45pm prompt and take in the plants and landscapes at their best. Tickets are limited and available at the Brookside Gate at £3 each (plus normal Garden admission).
The Garden is delighted that the Cambridge Summer Music Festival will be returning this year with two informal Sounds Green recitals starting at 6.15pm on the Main Lawn and offering an hour of music for evening visitors .
