…Now what? 😂💐 A huge thank you to each and every person who braved the weather to enjoy Little Gardens 2026, to all those who volunteered, and especially to those who so generously opened their gardens.

If you couldn’t make it - last chance to get your raffle tickets on our website!! They’re still live until 10:30am tomorrow (Sunday 7th), and you can still win a holiday in the south of France or a range of other fabulous prizes!

And we have quite a few scone cream teas left over unfortunately… Tomorrow we’ll have them for sale after the 8:00am and 10:30am services at St Clement’s at a reduced suggested price - come and grab one for your tea, and one to surprise a friend with.

Every penny raised goes to help keep St Clement’s open, despite its large financial deficit, and there’s still time to make a difference. Thank you again everyone!

A little rain won’t deter Alfie 🐈‍⬛ - he’s just set up the children’s trail and is off to hide around the gardens. Tickets for Little Gardens of Sandwich are on sale in St Clement’s, Cream Tea is from Noon-5:00pm and the gardens open at 1:00pm today, Saturday 6th June.

🎟️If you cannot make it today, but want to support Little Gardens and the work of St Clement’s, please do consider buying a raffle ticket on our website, or drop us a message to make a direct donation. The rain may put some people off, and any support as we still try to make today a success is gratefully received. Thank you.
