From 13 – 16 June, the much-loved event will bring together the very best gardening and cookery experts, with visitors able to watch an array of live demonstrations or peruse the latest food trends and garden must-haves.

 

This year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live will offer inspirational talks and expert advice from renowned gardening gurus including Monty Don, Adam Frost, Carol Klein, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift and Sue Kent in the BBC Gardeners’ World Live Theatre and the Let’s Talk Plants Stage.

 

Joining a number of expertly crafted Show Gardens, the highly anticipated headline attraction for this year is ‘The Chef’s Table’ by Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost. Overflowing with edible plants and produce, the walk-through garden will offer visitors an abundance of inspiration for growing, cooking and eating from ground to plate. Adam will host top chefs and experts, including James Martin, Michel Roux and Cassie Best in the garden for talks and demonstrations.

 

BBC Gardeners’ World Live also boasts a wide variety of Beautiful Borders, helping visitors to make the most of small spaces, or previously unused spots in their gardens. Guests can also pick up inspiration and advice from stages such as the Let’s Talk Plants Stage and House Plant Hub, as well as the Urban Gardening Stage and Get Growing Stage.

 

Visitors can also pay a visit to one of the country’s largest Floral Marquees, which will be home to the International Orchid Show this year and is set to be packed with plants to discover, browse, and buy. Plus, budding and expert gardeners alike can put their green fingers to work at one of the Show’s new practical workshops, covering topics such as ‘Growing Your Own Oyster Mushrooms’.

 

Returning alongside BBC Gardeners’ World Live, Good Food Show Summer is set to tantalise tastebuds with a feast of features running throughout the four-day event. Foodies can look forward to live demonstrations and unique cooking insights from a selection of the industry’s most famous faces including James Martin, Nadiya Hussain, Michel Roux, Si King (The Hairy Biker), Lisa Faulkner and much more in the Big Kitchen. They will be joined by a host of new faces in the Summer Kitchen including Anna Haugh, Julie Lin and Dina Macki.

 

The Let’s Talk Good Food stage, hosted by Good Food’s Barney Desmazery and Samuel Goldsmith, is returning for 2024 so visitors can watch live interviews with special guests such as Matt Tebutt, Mitch Lane, Jane Dunn of Jane’s Patisserie, Ruby Bhogal and Becky Excell, all recorded live for the Good Food Podcast.

 

Additionally, visitors can get hands-on in a Wine Tasting Session or Summer Workshop, which include cocktail masterclasses and tasting sessions with Katy Truss of Fabulous Food Finds. 

 

Guests can also browse new and exciting products in the Producers Village and Food Champions area, as well as picking up a bottle of artisan spirits in the Drinks Emporium.

 

Renowned for famous faces, inspiration, shopping and magic moments around every corner, BBC Gardeners’ World Live and Good Food Show Summer welcomes more than 90,000 visitors across both shows every year. With two shows included in one ticket, it’s a great-value day out for people looking for summer ideas.
