The Arley Garden Festival celebrates all things for the garden, plant nurseries and garden accessories complimented with a magnificent Floral Marquee and of course entry to the award winning Gardens which are at their very best at this time of year!
There is a food fair made up of delicious brownies, pies and pastries, cheese and jams and chutneys. Refreshments are available across the show with speciality coffee, burgers, chips and a sit down menu is available in our Gardener’s Kitchen Cafe.
You are welcomed by a foot tapping jazz band and in the afternoon enjoy the brass band playing in the East Garden, a part of the gardens not normally open to the public.
Throughout the day there are sessions running in the Question Time Marquee with a gardening panel to answer any questions you may have and a talk by Lord Ashbrook, the owner of the Estate and who is very involved in the Gardens. He also takes guided tours around the gardens during the day as does our Head Gardener Gordon Baillie (no extra cost).
Morgan cars will be on display outside the Hall on Sunday 27th.
Creative crafts offer a superb collection of traders selling quality crafts and gifts from hand crafted jewellery, clothing and celebration cards.
A countryside marquee will inspire you with demonstrations of dry stone walling, willow weaving and local nature reserves offering advice on bringing nature and wildlife into your garden.
A free plant creche offers a place to leave your plants while you enjoy an ice cream and stroll around the gardens.
