Default Darlington Open Gardens 28 April.

Our garden in Darlington and one across the road, will be open through the National Gardens Scheme on 28 April (1300 to 1700) for various charities which it supports.
Entry is ₤4 and we'll sell you a cup of tea and a scone, if we haven't sold out like last time.

The footpath to the River Tees (Teesdale Way) is very close.

It's all here:

When we opened in the summer of 2017 I didn't expect a queue of 75s and ZTs due to the Raby Castle Classic Car Show on the same day. There isn't one this year so I'm optimistic.
We had over 300 visitors and one member even had his own private tour the following day.

There's plenty of parking on the street outside.

I see that the Pumping Station in Darlington (Tees Cottage) will have the Beam Engine steaming on Sunday and Monday of the Easter weekend (21 and 22 April).
