You’re invited to our renowned Hidden Gardens Event!
The St Andrews Preservation Trust is delighted to invite you to its 27th Hidden Gardens event on 29 June 2025. Revealing some of St Andrews’ best-kept secrets, this annual fundraising event gives you exclusive access for one day each year to the hidden gardens of St Andrews.
What can you expect?
- Find the secret doocot in one of the South Street gardens
- Homemade jams, chutneys and textiles
- Live music at every corner!
Jill’s textiles stall is all set to be a big hit, she’s been busy with her friends preparing a whole host of useful items and tasty treats! “I love sewing, and although it’s just a hobby, I am delighted to give 100% of what you spend at this stall to the Preservation Trust. I make useful things like aprons, peg bags, laundry and shoe Bags, spectacle and mobile phone Cases, teapot and cafetiere cosies, cushions and draught excluders. I now combine my sewing stall with my Marmalade, Preserves Jellies and Chutneys and Irene Bennett’s ‘heavenly’ tablet. Friends who knit have added to this emporium of homemaking crafts with Gloves, Fingerless Texting Mittens, Socks and snug Woolley Hats for the St. Andrews weather! You’ll find me at this year’s headquarters in the garden at 46 South Street.” Jill
The Hidden Gardens event is a staple in the Trust calendar
Charity Trustees, volunteers and staff alike can feel the year racing towards our favourite fundraiser. There is a great sense of community that comes with the live music performances and homemade cakes. The Trust would love to welcome local St Andreans, Fifers, and visitors from further afield to this special event.
