Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason’s Home to Host Charity Garden Fundraiser

Tickets are now available for a charitable open house event scheduled at the Wiltshire residence of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. Thousands of visitors are anticipated to attend the rock star’s home, Middlewick House in Corsham, Wiltshire, during the weekend of June 7 and 8. The Grade II-listed Georgian property serves as the home for Mason and his wife, Annette, also known as Nettie. They acquired the house in 1995 from its previous owners, Andrew and Camilla Parker Bowles, with Camilla later becoming Queen Camilla. This annual open garden event is organized to benefit the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity and the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust. The event, which commenced in 2013, is widely regarded as the largest fundraiser in the county, attracting over 11,000 people to the garden. Last year’s event generated a record sum of £123,000, which was distributed between the two charities. Attendees will have the opportunity to view Mason’s collection of classic automobiles, estimated to be worth millions of pounds, and his menagerie of animals, while exploring the gardens. The family-friendly weekend will feature various market stalls offering items such as jewellery, plants, candles, and art for purchase. Barbara Gray, the deputy chief executive of the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity, stated: “The Middlewick House event is always hugely popular with our supporters and it continues to break records in terms of visitor numbers and funds raised for two vital Wiltshire charities. “We can’t thank Nick and Annette enough for agreeing to hold the event again in 2025.” For updates, follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
