The Garden Party

Indulge at Longfield

We couldn’t be more delighted that the Garden Party is once more returning to the stunning Longfield. Like Lynne and Rob Hammond, its equally splendid owners, the opulent, grand and theatrical Longfield really understands what it means to have a good time.

Get glamorous, meet old friends and new, including our fabulous visiting presenters. Feast on local food and delicious wines and soak up the cool sounds from a range of musicians. Don’t forget to bid on the exciting items at the Bayleys art auction.

As you move around the garden, prepare to be amazed. Statues, fountains, formal garden rooms and classical columns, intriguing hedges, citrus and olives all feature, and the recent addition of extraordinary stone pieces rescued from Christchurch’s Catholic Basilica has only added to the other-worldly experience. You could be in a scene from Fellini’s La Dulce Vita.

There’s a bus available to take you to Longfield from town and back. Don’t forget to purchase tickets at Garden Marlborough HQ.
