Events & Open Days

Though not normally open for public access, during the course of each year, Blagdon Estate hosts a number of prestigious events and charity open days.

We are regularly approached by charities and societies who would like to use the grounds to assist in their fundraising activities by inviting the general public to visit Blagdon. We discuss these requests towards the end of each year, for the following year.

100% of all takings from open days go to the charity involved. The charity open days are the only days throughout the year when Blagdon does open for members of the public. Bookings to attend the events are through the organising charities.

For 2024, here are the open day events and links to book tickets;
