Our Host Gardens

All of our fairs are held at beautiful and prestigious gardens across the country, with a wide range of styles. For example, we have fairs at ancient and venerable locations such as the Bishop’s Palace, Wells,  where there is evidence of a garden before building of the Palace started in around 1206, or the fabulous gardens at Llanover House, near Abergavenny, the earliest parts of which date back over 200 years. Then there are more recent gardens such as the fabulous Arts and Crafts gardens at High Glanau Manor, Monmouthshire and at Winterbourne House, in Birmingham. Gardens in more unusual settings include the unique woodland gardens at Evenley Wood, near Brackley. All of these beautiful gardens provide a wonderful setting for the fairs. 

Now, more than ever, we understand the value of our gardens in helping us to remain healthy, both physically and mentally, and we very much appreciate the owners of our wonderful host gardens making their gardens available for us to enjoy, both for our Fairs and at other times of the year. Your attendance at the Fairs helps to support the upkeep of the gardens (some of which are also charitable trusts) so that we are all able to continue to enjoy them, and in some cases also benefits important local charities.
