Bank Holiday Garden fair

Andy McIndoe at Bishop's Waltham Garden Fair

Gardening expert Andy McIndoe is set to return to the popular Bishop’s Waltham charity garden fair at the Palace Ruins, on Sunday 2 May from 10am-4pm.

Fair is blooming

The Hilliers Director made his debut in 2008 and enjoyed it so much he is returning to answer more gardening questions next month.

He is not the only one returning to the fair. Regular stall holders have booked their places again and this year another 20 stalls have asked to join the event – which last year raised nearly £10,000 for St John Ambulance Hampshire.

Stallholders, gardeners and families return year after year because it is such a wonderful day out!

Chairman, Garden Fair committee

Organiser Joan Ferrer is delighted with the plans: ‘Our garden fair is positively blooming,’ she said. ‘Stallholders, gardeners and families return year after year because it is such a wonderful day out!

‘We are really looking forward to the fair, which provides such a lovely garden party atmosphere for everyone who comes along!’

Cuff Billett’s roving jazz band will once again provide toe tapping tunes and organisers have managed to keep the entry price the same as previous years – just £3.50 for adults with children under 14 free.

Once again there will be a children’s corner, with colouring and planting.

The popular event, is in aid of St John Ambulance Hampshire and attracts around 2,000 visitors each year.
