Painshill Events

Painshill offers a year-round programme of events inspired by the landscape, its history and the changing seasons. From talks and guided tours exploring the art of garden design to family-friendly trails, workshops and special events, thereโ€™s always something to discover.

Our events evolve with the seasons, celebrating everything from spring growth and summer evenings to autumn colour and winter wonders. Whether youโ€™re visiting with family or looking to deepen your connection with the landscape, our programme offers experiences to enjoy throughout the year.
