This summer the National Trust will showcase some of Cayman’s finest properties through a series of Home & Garden Tours. These events will introduce groups to traditional Caymanian architecture, contemporary design and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Tours are taking place on three dates during the summer; Saturday 20 May, Saturday 24 June and Saturday 5 August. Each tour, which lasts three hours, will take guests by coach around a variety of different properties in various districts. Tickets are priced at $75 per adult and light refreshments will be provided at various stops during each tour.

“The purpose of these Home & Garden Tours is to celebrate Cayman’s built heritage, which is irreplaceable and contributes so much to our islands’ unique charm” said Richard Mileham, the National Trust’s Historic Programmes Manager. “This is a rare opportunity to see inside some of these properties and to learn all about their history and design” he added.

The National Trust is also appealing to any owners of historic or contemporary homes, or indeed properties with beautiful gardens, who would like to include their property in one or more of the tours. “We can accommodate more stops into our tours and so we would be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to showcase their home and support the Trust with these events”, said Richard Mileham.

Proceeds from the tours will help to support the National Trust’s Historic Programmes and will enable the Trust to continue to safeguard historic sites for current and future generations. That includes not just maintaining existing sites but also supporting a range of other activities from historic education, research, restoration projects and events.
