Petworth Late: Summer Solstice
Enjoy the summer solstice in the Pleasure Garden at Petworth.

Spend the summer solstice watching the sunset in the Pleasure Garden, and along the front terrace of the house, when the grounds are open from 7-10pm. Take a stroll around the garden to see the evening sunlight illuminate the Italian styled Ionic Rotunda and absorb the peaceful atmosphere on the woodland walk. Take a seat on one of the garden benches and enjoy the beauty of nature on this unique evening opening.
There will be live music performances during the evening.
