Nick Mason Open Garden Charity Photos, Middlewick House 2023

Nick Mason’s Middlewick House open garden charity event was a fantastic day out for many reasons. Meeting a founding member of Pink Floyd in his back garden, seeing some of the greatest cars ever made, visiting an historic property in Corsham, Wiltshire where Queen Camilla used to live, and supporting charities are just some of the reasons. I even bought a plant, pink of course, from a stall trader! The event was all very laid back and informal. Nick, sat under his Volkswagen sun shade signing books and memorabilia, looked very relaxed indeed. He proceeded through his long queue of people waiting to meet and greet in a steady manner much like his drumming style.
