Join us on Saturday 3rd May for a vibrant celebration of Broom Day, an annual event reviving Bromley’s rich natural heritage. Hosted by Bromley Civic Society in collaboration with the Friends of Bromley Parks and Gardens, this exciting event honours the golden blooms of broom that flourish on Martin’s Hill—one of Bromley’s most historic and scenic spots.

What’s On?

Exhibition at The Glades (10 AM – 4 PM)

Discover the fascinating history of broom in Bromley with colourful displays, heritage panels, and live floral exhibits. Explore interactive activities for children and capture the perfect photo in our beautifully decorated broom bower.

Guided Walk to Martin’s Hill (Starts at 11 AM)

Take part in a broom-filled parade, starting at The Glades and making its way to Martin’s Hill. Led by the Mayor of Bromley, who will be dressed in full ceremonial robes, this joyful walk will be a visual spectacle. Guests are encouraged to wear green and yellow and accessorise with sprigs of broom (or anything bright and cheerful).
