RHS Garden Bridgewater extends free entry for Salford residents until 2024

Free entry to RHS Garden Bridgewater for Salford residents on Tuesdays is set to continue until 2024, the Royal Horticultural Society has announced. The scheme has been extended until May next year.

When the gardens originally opened in May 2021 in Worsley, Salford residents were treated to free entry to the 154-acre site on Tuesdays to celebrate its opening. It was due to end after the first year, however it was subsequently renewed again in May 2022 and it’s now set to stay for another year.

RHS Bridgewater said on Twitter: “We’re delighted to announce that free Tuesday entry for Salford residents to RHS Bridgewater has been extended for a further year to May 2024.”

It features beautifully designed formal gardens, including the Weston Walled Garden, which is one of the largest in the UK. There are also areas of woodland to explore and a lake you can walk around.
