With free entry and free parking, it will be a great day out and an opportunity to meet local producers as well as visiting hidden town gardens and joining in with fun and varied activities.

Stalls lining the High Street and Broad Street will showcase the very best local food and drink producers.

In addition, there will be wonderful plant and garden-related stalls and much else besides. Throughout the day, there will be a food court and activities in and around St. Andrew’s Church.

For the younger visitors, there will be Forest School and craft activities, face painting, a foraging walk for families, treasure hunts, sack races and more. Musicians and choirs will entertain around the streets and church.

Workshops will demonstrate how to make a floral crown and willow plant supports. Delicious dishes made with locally brewed beer and talks by a modern herbalist are also included in the inspiring festival programme.
