Spring is here and it’s the perfect time to visit RHS Garden Bridgewater for just £1 this March, as part of National Lottery Open Week 2026.

From 7-14 March, anyone presenting a National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard or Instant Win game - digital or physical - can enjoy £1 entry per person for up to four people. The offer is part of the National Lottery’s annual thank‑you to players who raise £30 million each week for good causes across the UK.

As well as RHS Garden Bridgewater, the offer is also available at all five RHS Gardens nationwide: RHS Harlow Carr (Yorkshire), RHS Hyde Hall (Essex), RHS Rosemoor (Devon) and RHS Wisley (Surrey).

The recent mild temperatures have meant that spring is quickly arriving at RHS Gardens making it an exciting time to visit as flowers burst into bloom and fill the gardens with pockets of vibrant colour, from luscious yellow daffodils to snowdrops, magnificent magnolias and early blossom.

Young visitors can also join Mr Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger at each garden for a brand-new interactive garden trail, based on the well-loved book The Wind in the Willows. The adventurous routes explore iconic sights and bring plenty of storybook magic using the rich, nature-based world of The Wind in the Willows to spark curiosity about wildlife, habitats, and the importance of protecting the natural environment.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund has supported the RHS Gardens in many important ways, including free gardening activities and events in local communities. The restoration of the historic laboratory at RHS Wisley and the creation of a centre for horticultural science and learning were also made possible via a grant from the Fund.
