Portrack, The Garden of Cosmic Speculation 2018 opening date

The Garden of Cosmic Speculation will open on Sunday 6th May, 2018.

Tickets will be released on Thursday 1st February, 2018.

The tickets will be available from 1st February from this Eventbrite link.

The Upper Nithsdale Pipe Band will perform (weather permitting). Crawick Multiverse, also designed by Charles Jencks, will be open the same day.

Admission is via prepaid ticket only. Many more people than anticipated came to the 2017 opening and we have therefore had to introduce a ticket limit against the capacity of the car parking fields (1,500 spaces) to keep everyone safe and the traffic moving through the small lanes around the private estate.

Please note that the garden is not open to the public at any other time.

Fingask Castle, Perth and Kinross
