Once a year we hold a Garden Party in a location where there are follies, sometimes very old, sometimes very new. We wander round the grounds, meet new people, see the buildings, then meet up for Pimms, sandwiches and cakes and to finish off, a specially built cake depicting one of the follies in the garden. We also enjoy dressing up for the occasion. Here are the locations of all the past parties along with the relevant cake.
