Due to the forecast of high winds, Battleston Hill and the Pinetum are closed today, Saturday 23 November. RHS Glow is set to go ahead as planned. The weather forecast is being closely monitored, and any changes will be communicated on social media or the website. Please check back for updates.

A new dedicated bridge into RHS Wisley is now open. If travelling by car, visitors who would normally access the garden from the A3 will now use Ockham Park roundabout and follow new signage onto the bridge and over the A3 to the existing RHS Wisley entrance. Find out more
