Bringing together the best celebrity gardeners and chefs for inspirational talks, live demonstrations and much more, the much-loved Shows, which attract over 100,000 people each year, will return from 15 – 18 June 2023.

Kicking off Summer 2023, this year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live will offer an unparalleled experience for keen and budding gardeners alike with unmissable talks and insight from headline garden experts including Monty Don, Carol Klein, Adam Frost, Frances Tophill and Alan Titchmarsh, among others, in the BBC Gardeners’ World Live Theatre.

Alongside stunning Show Gardens, Beautiful Borders, stages, one-to-one advice from the Plant Experts, and one of the country’s largest Floral Marquees packed with plants to buy, there are plenty of new elements to explore at the Show. Visitors will discover a series of alfresco talks on two Show Gardens and the all-new Let’s Talk Plants stage, which includes sessions with stage sponsor Hillier Nurseries.

What’s more, visitors can get take-home ideas from gardens including: a walk-through, coronation-inspired ‘Garden Fit for a King’ inspired by HM King Charles III’s famous gardens at Highgrove; the Liz Earle Beauty Co’s Botanical Show Garden that focusses on the harnessing of the power of plants for wellbeing; the Newson Health Menopause Garden, which is full of ideas of how a garden can support a woman's journey through the menopause; the Secret Homestead Garden by gardening influencer Lucy Hutchings @SheGrowsVeg; three Wildlife Trust Competition gardens, four APL Avenue Show Gardens and much more.

Additionally, indoor gardening fans will enjoy the House Plant Hub, with room-set designed by award-winning designer Kate Mason, House Plant Market and tips on sprucing up interior spaces at the stage hosted by Ellen Mary and with experts including Joe Bagley.

Returning alongside BBC Gardeners’ World Live, BBC Good Food Show Summer has revealed a string of mouth-watering sessions in the Big Kitchen across the four-day foodie celebration, with a host of favourites including James Martin, Ainsley Harriot, Nadiya Hussain, Michel Roux and The Hairy Bikers set to take to the stage.

Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to taste and discover food producers in the Fabulous Food Finds Tasting Theatre and shop for new and existing products in the Producers Village and Food Champions area, hear live interviews with our chefs and experts at the Let’s Talk Food Stage, as well as meet some of the new faces of the Show cooking live on the Summer Kitchen, where guests can pick up lots of summer dining inspiration.

Renowned for famous faces, inspiration, shopping and magic moments around every corner, the combination of these two Shows offers an enviable day out.
