The Secret Garden
Kemptown

Welcome to Kemptown's best kept secret! 

 

We are a volunteer-run, community garden offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle, delicious cakes, and a warm, family- and dog-friendly welcome to all.  

​

​This year we opened the garden to the public on 18 April 2025 as part of the Brighton Festival and Open Houses, with an exciting new exhibition of works by German-born, Sussex-based sculptor Almuth Tebbenhoff. 

 

We'll be open 11am-5pm every weekend - including Bank Holidays - through to the end of May.

 

(NB we will be closed on Saturday 17 May for a private function.)

 

From June onwards until the end of September it will be Sundays and Bank Holidays only.
 

Our much-loved pop-up café will be provided by Table, as ever, with a dazzling array of refreshments, cakes and savoury bakes. 

​

The garden has a unique history - you can learn all about it if you click on the 'More' button above.

 

If you'd like to join our mailing list we'll keep you up to date with all our events and plans for the garden.
