Register your interest in taking a stall at our garden festival in spring, Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th May.
Bringing together the best nurseries from the West Country and beyond, quality gardening talks on a wide range of horticultural topics, top-notch arts and crafts, locally-made street food, free music and entertainment - a fabulous day out.
Our celebrity speakers and knowledgable garden industry experts provide a jam-packed two days of FREE TALKS throughout the festival for visitors! See who came along in 2023!
There's always a delightful selection of stalls to keep you fed and watered throughout the festival. See who was here last year!
Welcome
The planets have aligned! and for our 10 year Birthday Bash, we have the most amazing line-up of speakers including my friend, the wonderful Rachel de Thame!
Rachel’s passion for gardening is infectious (as is her laugh!) and she’ll be speaking and signing copies of her hot-off-the-press new book ‘A Flower Garden for Pollinators’ on Saturday the 4th of May. Can’t wait.
Just a reminder… our talks take place in three main arenas, and all of them are on a first-come, first-served basis and free! Add in the demos and ad-hoc entertainments across the gardens and inside the Castle and the only challenge is making a wish-list of what to see and do and sticking to it!.
A nice problem to have…
Here’s to Springtime
