Cactus at the Castle will be presented again by Cactus and Succulent Review this year as part of Lullingstone Castle’s Mexican Celebration Weekend. The quarterly online magazine will be offering readers who can get to the picturesque village of Eynsford in Kent less than half-price admission to the event at Lullingstone Castle.
Looking to continue the success of previous events, Cactus at the Castle will run over 14-15 September and feature plant sales from over 20 of the UK’s leading cactus and succulent nurseries and growers. On Saturday 14 September, visitors are invited to bring plants to sell at the Bring & Sell auction and Sunday 15 September will see the second Lullingstone Open Show with classes for a wide range of cacti and succulents. There will also be talks and workshops on both days.
Lullingstone Castle is the family seat of BCSS patron Tom Hart Dyke and home to his renowned World Garden of Plants. Tom will be giving guided tours on both event days and there will also be a fabulously colourful display of dahlias by top grower Darren Everest. The castle itself will be open to visitors again and mouth-watering Mexican food will be available too.
The standard admission price is £12.50 but CSR subscribers will be able to enjoy the event for just £6.00 and BCSS members for £10.00. Fancy attending both days? Saturday ticket holders will be able to obtain half price entry for the Sunday (based on their admission band). Children under 16 are admitted free.
Look out for more details in the June and September editions of Cactus and Succulent Review, including information on how to claim discounted entry.
