This coming weekend 20-24 June 2015 is the inaugural Bishop’s Palace Garden Festival in Wells, Somerset. Unusually not run by the RHS, the festival will feature Alan Titchmarsh, Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden and Stephen Lacey, plus workshops, talks, rare plants and gardening products throughout the Palace’s 14 acre garden.
Surrounding the historical 800 year old home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells, the Palace gardens have been restored over the past 10 years under head gardener James Cross and several new gardens added.
There will be music, food, and craft stalls on the Village Green and South Lawn, children’s activities and a portable garden competition.
10am – 6pm, tickets Adult – General Admission £9.00 + booking fee*, accompanying U16 free.
