Trip Cactus at the Castle 2026

Hi planty gang. Just want to share with you this information. I am attending this event.

It’s a cacti & succulent festival in Kent. I have attended this a few times now, and can confirm it is worth the day trip.

The venue: Lullington castle is located at a charming estate. Come explore the grounds & have a picnic on the day. There is a beautiful garden with exotic world plants.

A member may be giving me a lift, if so I'll meet you at the venue.

How to get there? (My suggested route, but other routes available depending of your location)

• Choose your own mode of transport.
• Best to drive, if you can (45 mins outside London).
• Via public transport - 50 mins train to Eynsford from Blackfrairs or Elephant & castle station
• 20 mins walk from station to venue
• Please feel free to ask questions under the comment or DM me.

Itinerary:

• 11am - Meet at the venue
• Entrance fee is £10 per adult
• 11:15 Check out the stalls & self-indulgence on the rare plant gems
• 1pm - Lunch picnic - bring your own food & drinks; otherwise there usually is somewhere to buy snacks
• 2pm- tour of the World Garden
• 3pm Leaving the venue.

Feel free to drop in and join at any point in this session.
You can bring a friend, just let me know. :-)
