Find a fair near you or plan your perfect day out:

You can pop in for an hour and pick up some plants without breaking the bank, or you can make a day of it, exploring the lovely gardens or just enjoying the open air and peaceful surroundings.

We cover the East and West Midlands and the North West of England. Our plant fairs are hosted by the most beautiful and most prestigious gardens and countryside locations in our region. They make a wonderful day out full of inspiring ideas for you to take back with you to your own garden.

When a fair takes place within a garden, we arrange reduced price entry to the garden on that day and entry to the fair is included. Others fairs have a small charge or donation that all goes to maintaining the venue.

Be wowed by the plants

All our nurseries are small family-run growers, each with their own specialities. You'll find RHS medalists and keen plants people at our fairs. Above all, people who love plants and are passionate about what they grow. Each stall has it's own unique specialties. We go for quality and diversity rather than packing in lots of look-alike stalls. The line-ups change from fair to fair.

And for those finishing touches we also have a select number of garden accessory stalls and artists creating unique garden artworks.

"Discovered these plant Fairs about 3 years ago and they have taken over our enthusiasm from the bigger shows. Love that the sellers are more than happy to help and discuss their plants. Will definitely be back next year. Thanks to everyone involved" - June on Facebook.

Prospective traders:

We welcome enquiries from high class nurseries, garden accessories and tools, garden and botanical artists, and gardening related sundries interested in attending our fairs. At present we can't offer space to non-gardening related traders.

We do always check you out before deciding whether we can invite you so please don't be put off if we ask some searching questions!

Use our trader enquiry form and we'll get back to you asap.

Coming to a Plant Hunters' Fair:

Most fairs are pay on the gate, but a few fairs are ticketed and have timed arrivals to avoid parking congestion. Please see the event detail page by tapping or clicking the event list for further info.
Bring your dog(s), they are very welcome at all our fairs. Please keep them on a reasonably short lead. We've also been visited by cats, macaws and a tortoise over the years!
To help save plastic waste please bring your own bags or trolleys
Most traders take cards, but sometimes the phone signal lets us down so bring some cash as a back-up
Our fairs are wheelchair accessible although most are on grass and some on gravel. Some sites are sloping making pushing wheelchairs or using scooters more difficult. See the event detail page for further info. Some parts of a garden or venue may not be accessible because of steps etc.. It's best to contact the venue for up to date information.
Fairs are totally in the open air and it has been known to be wet and windy in Britain in the plant fair season ;-) so wear appropriate footwear and pack a brolly or mac.
Always check with this website or Facebook page before coming to a fair to see the latest event status.

But most of all be prepared to be wowed by the plants and buy far more than you planned!

"Fabulous events came to two this year, got some amazing plants and some good bargains too! A great day out, thanks for all your hard work organising them see you next spring!" - Adam on Facebook.
