OPEN MEADOWS
If you’d like to open your meadow in 2025 for an afternoon, for others to enjoy, we’d love to hear from you. Please message us on the contact page.
In summer 2024 over two dozen beautiful meadows opened, some for an afternoon, some for weeks. A big thank-you to all those meadow-owners who took part in the programme.
