Welcome to the Friends of
​Sydney Gardens


Bath University students produced a fantastic video about the Friends of Sydney Gardens for the Rotork Community Challenge 2024.

The Friends of Sydney Gardens was formed in 2013 to preserve and improve Sydney Gardens and to provide the community face of the Heritage Lottery Project. This project is now complete but there are still major areas of the park that require investment. Our mission is to raise money to complete major renovation projects in the gardens.
We offer:
  • Historic guided walks
  • Daily litter picking
  • Volunteer gardening sessions
  • Talks to local communities, societies and groups
​We act as the community liaison with the Bath and NE Somerset Parks and Green Spaces Team. 
We provide regular social media updates on:
  • Facebook - Friends of Sydney Gardens
  • Instagram - fosydneygardens
Rough Sleepers in Sydney Gardens
Picture
There have been several reports of people rough sleeping in Sydney Gardens. If you would like to help, you can report incidents of rough sleeping on the StreetLink website and they will assist by connecting the homeless to local services. The Bath and North East Somerset Council have been in contact with Julian House to arrange accommodation for those involved.
