This weekend, Middlewick House in Corsham will once again open its gates to the public for the much-anticipated charity event hosted by Nick Mason, drummer of Pink Floyd, and his wife Annette.
Taking place on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June 2025, the annual Middlewick Open Garden weekend has become a highlight of the local calendar, drawing thousands each year to support two vital causes: Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity and The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust.
The Masons have long been champions of both charities, using their home to raise crucial funds for services that safeguard the local community. Last year’s event was a remarkable success, raising a record £124,000 to be shared between the two organisations.
This year looks set to surpass that figure, with more than 10,000 tickets sold before the weekend even begins.
A special addition for 2025 will see Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity bringing their Bell 429 helicopter along with operational aircrew. Visitors will have the rare chance to get up close to the aircraft and meet the team responsible for responding to emergency calls across the region — though this is subject to the demands of ongoing operations.
Guests can look forward to browsing stalls from local artisans, sampling an array of food from various vendors, and admiring Nick Mason’s impressive collection of vintage and high-performance cars. There will also be live music, activities for children, and plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend.
To improve the experience and ease congestion, organisers have introduced a new entrance for visitors arriving from Chippenham. Clear signage and parking instructions will help ensure smooth access.
The event runs from 10am to 5pm on both days. Tickets are £12 if purchased in advance online at middlewickhouseopengarden.com, or £15 on the gate. Children under 12 enter free of charge.
