The covers are off, the planters are blooming, and the best view in Westward Ho! is officially back in action. After a long winter hibernation, The Guillemot Gardens are RE-OPENING just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend!
Last summer, you made the Gardens the place to be on the North Devon coast. This year, we’re picking up right where we left off—only bigger, and with even more of those sunset vibes you’ve been dreaming of since October.
🌅 Dust Off Your Sunglasses
There is nothing quite like that first bank holiday pint in the fresh sea air. Whether you’re fresh off a walk on the Burrows or just looking for a spot to soak up the Atlantic views, the Gardens are ready for you. We’ve spent the winter getting everything crisp, clean, and coastal-cool just for this moment.
🎶 Three Nights of High-Voltage Live Music
To celebrate the homecoming of our outdoor stage, we’ve booked a triple-threat lineup that covers everything from soulful blues to floor-filling rock:
- FRIDAY – 9 YARDS Kick off the long weekend with a masterclass in variety. From Classic Rock and Blues to Pop and Disco, they’re the perfect soundtrack to that first Friday night sunset of the season.
- SATURDAY – THE GREATER GOOD Saturday is all about the energy. Expect party hits and dancefloor fillers that will have the whole Garden moving. If you’ve missed dancing under the North Devon sky, this is your night.
- SUNDAY – VINYL FRONTIER We’re wrapping up the launch weekend with the heavy hitters. Rock anthems and crowd favourites—the kind of songs that demand a drink in the air and a singalong with friends.
🐾 Paws & Pints
Don't forget, we remain Westward Ho!’s favorite dog-friendly destination. Your four-legged companions have missed the Garden just as much as you have, and we can’t wait to see them back in their favorite sunny spots.
The wait is over. Spring is here, the beer is cold, and the music is about to start. Don’t just hear about the reopening on Monday—be part of the crowd that brings the Gardens back to life!
We’ll see you on the terrace! 🍻✨
