The 2010 Garden Festival will be on Saturday and Sunday 12 and 13 June


We are leaving this site up-and-running with all the information from our 2009 festival so that visitors can continue to access the stallholder information amassed over the previous year.

We have put some pictures of the 2009 festival on our Photos page.

The 2009 Garden Festival was a great success and we would like to offer a great big hearty "Thank You" to all who helped make it happen, especially to our speakers and stallholders, and to all our visitors.

The sun shone, the stalls looked brilliant, the food and music was great and the talks were all well attended and thoroughly enjoyed.

We look forward to seeing you again in 2010.


This year, as well as all the usual wonderful plants, the emphasis is on food quality, the environment, ‘food miles’, and an increasing interest in growing food and self-sufficiency.

We are delighted to welcome to the Festival, Terry Walton, ‘Allotment Doctor’ from BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine's Show. Terry will be hosting a discussion seminar with Richard Fishbourne of Bugs and Beasties.

BBC Hereford &Worcester's Sunday gardening show will broadcast live from the festival.

Last year’s Festival attracted more than 2,500 visitors who enjoyed over 50 exhibitors, informative and engaging talks, local and organic lunches and teas, a beautiful setting, ambient music, imaginative children’s activities and much more. And this year we will build on that success - we have over 60 exhibitors booked!

Guided walk to the SSSI wood: Dr Val Cooper of Natural England will be leading a group at 2pm on both Saturday and Sunday. She is a renowned expert in the study of SSSI woods and natural England; more info here.
