Sunlit Soirée: Experience Grandeur and Grace at the Garden Party

Spend a relaxing afternoon in Salisbury House’s formal gardens at our annual springtime fundraiser, The Garden Party. Come play croquet, dine alfresco, enjoy live music, and partake in a variety of artistic and artisanal activities such as watercoloring and floral arranging. It’s the stuff that Sundays were made for.

Sunday, June 8, 2025
11 - 3 p.m.

As Salisbury House Foundation’s annual signature fundraiser, this event supports the foundation and ensures its ability to maintain and care for the green spaces of the estate which were originally designed by Edith Weeks. It is her love of nature and legacy as a hostess that we honor each year; learn more about Edith here.

Your ticket includes interactive activities, the all-you-can-eat brunch and dessert buffet, bottomless mimosas, and several other selections from the bar such as cocktails/mocktails, beer, and wine (cash bar available for select liquor and mixers). 

Event registration closes Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at midnight or when capacity is full.

Tickets

$135 per person or $1,000 for a table of six

Please note: This event takes place in a grassy, tented area outside on the east and west terraces and in the garden. A few steps will be required to access the event. Accessible parking is located on the north side of the house.
