Green Fingers at the Ready for our Annual Gardening Day!

Our much-loved annual Gardening Day is back this May, promising a blooming good time for gardening enthusiasts of all ages. Taking place on Sunday, May 18, this event invites the community to celebrate all things green and growing.

From 10am to 3pm, visitors can enjoy a stroll along the Promenade and browse a range of plant stalls, garden accessories, and other items from local makers and nurseries, giving you plenty of opportunities to pick up inspiration for your own outdoor spaces! 

Whether you’re an experienced horticulturist or just starting to explore the joys of gardening, Gardening Day offers something for everyone. 

As always, we will have the barbecue fired up so you can have a bite to eat as you browse the stalls. The Coffee Shop will be serving its usual menu, plus there will be a pop-up in the Estuary Room selling light refreshments.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page to see sneak peeks of which stallholders will be joining us this year! 
Admission is free, with donations to The Ropewalk charity welcome. 

Sunday, May 18

For those of you who are extra enthusiastic about all things related to gardening, don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy a talk from Bob Flowerdew, BBC Radio 4 panelist and one of Britain’s leading organic gardeners. This talk takes place on Saturday, May 17.
