The 5th Cottesbrooke Gardeners’ Fair
Cottesbrooke Hall, Northampton NN6 8PF
Fri 22nd - Sun 24th June, 2012
Last year our exhibitors bucked the trend of many other events resulting in a 95% rebook rate and we are now turning exhibitors away. This puts us in the enviable position of cherry picking the very best exhibitors and over 70 specialist garden growers and craftsmen from across the UK and Europe will feature at this year’s Fair. The Fair is now considered to be a key date in the gardener’s calendar and we are proud that it is hosted here at Cottesbrooke Hall in Northamptonshire.
We have changed our name to ‘The Cottesbrooke Gardeners’ Fair’ to reflect our wide range of gardening specialists and as ‘Britain's most inspiring weekend of plant and garden ideas’ we aim to convey the message that Cottesbrooke Gardener’s Fair is a must for anyone with a passion for gardening. We bring together the very best nurseries to impart invaluable knowledge and sell unusual high quality plants. Wonderful products for the garden are also available and we will again deliver a stellar array of expert speakers including, Cleve West (Chelsea best in show garden designer 2011), Chris Beardshaw and James Alexander-Sinclair.
Further details of exhibitor line up, speaker line up and content, admission fees and advance ticket sales will be announced shortly. Contact email: welcome<at>cottesbrooke.co.uk or 01604 505808 or visit the website. www.cottesbrooke.co.uk for more information.
