Following a successful pilot season in 2024, The Arts Centre Hounslow proudly launches its first full Walled Garden Summer Season at Boston Manor Park, running from 22nd July to 31st August 2025. This new open-air cultural programme marks a major milestone for both the Arts Centre and the park’s revitalised grounds, thanks to a £5.1million restoration project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund.
Set within the beautifully restored historic grounds of Boston Manor Park, the Walled Garden will host a diverse programme of theatre, music, comedy, and family-friendly events, all presented by The Arts Centre Hounslow.

The newly refurbished park, now featuring restored heritage buildings, enhanced green spaces, and modern play and sports facilities, provides a stunning, accessible setting for the arts to thrive.
