HOUGHTON LODGE GARDENS NATURIST EVENING AND BARBEQUE

Following the success of last year’s barbeque evening at Houghton Lodge Gardens we have arranged another BBQ on Wednesday 10^th June 2026 the gardens will open for naturist visitors from 5.30 pm and will remain open until 8.30 pm.  The gardens themselves are a delightful mixture of formal planting and more natural settings, and include direct access to the banks of the River Test. 

For the BBQ we will have - Beef Burger, sausages, herb salad and crisps the cost is £30 which includes the BBQ and admission to the gardens, we’ll have a cash bar selling wine, beer and soft drinks. 

Bookings for the Barbeque can now be made by emailing  applerooms@houghtonlodge.co.uk telling them you want to book the BN barbeque on Wednesday 10^th June and  they will send you an invoice for payment through Stripe a confirmation email/ticket will then be sent to you on receipt of the payment. The cost of the barbeque which includes admission to the gardens is £30 (plus an admin charge of 65p)

If you do not wish to participate in the barbeque no pre-booking is required. You can simply pay on arrival using either cash or card. Admission to the gardens is £11.50

During the evening there will be another Treasure Hunt organised by Maddy Dawe.

There is ample parking available at the gardens, which are located close to Stockbridge in Hampshire. You can find more information about the gardens on the  website If you would like to stay at the gardens and join other naturist events in the area they have accommodation available see The Apple Rooms - self catering accomodation near Stockbridge 

On Tuesday 9^th June we have the joint BN / Naturist Ramblers Redshoot walk in the New Forest and on Thursday 11^th June another joint walk from Dunbridge followed in the evening with a naked dinner and skittles at Dunbridge.                                                     

Whilst the Houghton Lodge team are very supportive of naturism, they ask that visitors remain dressed until they are inside the gardens - there will be an area to undress and leave clothes inside the gardens. Thank you for your understanding on this point.

Address of the gardens Houghton Lodge, North Houghton, Stockbridge. SO20 6LQ
