JUNE Date tba Open Garden Day One of the most popular events of the season. View a selection of gardens on Brentham – they are all different, all delightful and contain many surprises. This is an ideal opportunity to talk to the owners about planting in different conditions and soils – if it works for them, it will work for you. JUNE Sunday 24th Strawberry Tea A charming afternoon in a Brentham garden drinking tea and mixing socially with neighbours and local dignitaries whilst eating strawberries and homemade cakes. SEPTEMBER Saturday 15th/Sunday 16th Guided Walk As part of the annual London Open House Weekend the Brentham Society organises a guided walk around the suburb lead by local architect Clive Hicks. An excellent opportunity to find out more about the history, architecture and hidden gems of Brentham.

In addition to our regular calendar we hold other events on an ad hoc basis, such as wine tasting, quiz nights, heritage and arts & crafts visits, and educational talks. See Notice Boards and Brentham News during the year for dates.

We are keen to extend our range of activities in order to cater for a wide range of people, tastes and interests. What other events would you like to see on our calendar? Do you have an event which you would like to organise? There are already a number of social groups affiliated to the Brentham Society, for example, a book club and a gardening group. Are there any others you’d like to see?
