That’s the way to do it 

A Punch and Judy show is one of the attractions during Open Garden Squares weekend, which sees gated gardens across the capital open to the public.

Eaton Square garden will host the puppet shows at 11.45am, 1.15pm and 2.45pm and homemade refreshments and lunches will be served.

In Belgrave Square, live music will play during the day and homemade cakes and lunches will be available.

There will be plant guides in Victoria Square, Chester Square and Wilton Crescent, while Beeston Place hotel The Goring will serve cocktails in its garden. There will be tea and cake in the courtyard at Rococo Chocolates on Motcomb Street.

All gardens are open on Sunday 12 June, 10am-5pm, except for Rococo, which is open on Saturday 11 June from 11am-5pm and on Sunday 12th from 12pm-4pm. Tickets are £7.50 until 6 June and then £10 at the gate (free for under-12s). One ticket gives entry to all venues on both days.
