Here are this year’s events – those at the top are organised by the Folly Fellowship, and those in the second block are events by other organizations that may be of interest. If you wish to order multiple tickets, there are some help tips here.
Day Trip to Chesterton Windmill and Farnborough Hall, ending with a cream tea at a local village hall. All enquiries to Andrew Plumridge at plumridge@architect-uk.com
Iford Manor, near Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire
Saturday 4rd September – Note this has been rescheduled due to the delay in the freeing up of Covid regualtions. If you have already booked, your payment will still be valid for the later date.
This year we are honoured to be the guests of Folly Fellow Elizabeth Cartwright-Hignett, the owner of one Wiltshire’s finest private houses. The Italianate garden, created by architect Harold Peto, with buildings and sculptures which evoke the Mediterranean, is well known. Less well-known are the Elizabeth’s artistic creations in her kitchen garden, which contains some intriguing features and cleverly devised shell and mosaic work in The Pavilion of the Green Man. For a full account, See Jonathan Holt’s Wiltshire Follies available through the FF website.

Andrew Plumridge has secured 25 tickets for a group of us to tour the gardens of Buckingham Palace on Monday, 13 September, starting at 1:45pm. Whilst the only folly there is the Admiralty Seat, the gardens are special enough for us to regard this as a social event to bring members together after the long lockdown.
