Standing in the shadow of Skull Hill, the Garden Tomb includes an ancient empty tomb, a possible site for the burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
Entrance to the Garden is free of charge for everyone, a place where people experience the peace and beauty of the Garden and hear the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Investing In The Future
A unique opportunity to partner with us in the development of the Garden Tomb
This is a unique opportunity to partner with us in the development of the Garden Tomb.
Between 2016 and 2019 visitor numbers increased from 235,000 to 450,000 annually.
The pandemic temporarily stopped tourism, which presented us with an opportunity to undertake significant improvements throughout the garden.
We ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us in financial support in order to complete this work.
