Exclusive Members’ Event – The Salisbury Museum Garden Party at the Walton Canonry

Saturday, June 7, 2025 

2:30pm – 6pm

Take in the views of the watermeadows from the gardens of the exquisite eighteenth century Walton Canonry in the heart of the Cathedral Close. Leased by Rex Whistler from 1938 as a studio for himself and home for his then elderly parents, until his untimely death in 1944.

With prosecco, light afternoon tea, punting, and traditional garden games; join us for our exclusive fundraising event this summer.

Salisbury Punting will be moored at the end of the garden, ready to take guests along the river at regular intervals.

———————————————————————————————————————————–

Access to the gardens is via steps into the house, and through the drawing rooms to the steps into the garden. There is also level access to the gardens to the side of the house.

Well behaved dogs welcome on leads.

There is no parking directly at the Walton Canonry. The closest car park is at south end of the Close via tickets purchased at the High Street Gate.

Please note: This event is for Salisbury Museum Members only.

A valid membership number is required on booking.

Please inform us of any food allergies or intolerances when booking.
