About Us

The third English Country Garden Festival will take place at the Bishop’s Palace and Gardens in Wells, Somerset From Friday 9th - Sunday 11th June (10am -5pm)

The annual event was first launched by Alan Titchmarsh in 2015, and is a celebration of the horticultural heritage held within the plantsman’s paradise of The Bishop’s Palace

Visitors can experience the award winning gardens, which recently featured on BBC Gardener’s World, filled with talks, stalls hands-on demonstrations, refreshments, entertainment, top gardening personalities and new ideas on how to use and love their gardens.

There will be an exciting line-up of guest speakers throughout the festival.
