In addition to a plethora of crafting activities and tours, we’ll have a fantastic range of local artists performing music between 3pm–6pm.

Saturday 30th July – A birthday party for the Garden

Enjoy lots of our favourite activities, food and music to round off our anniversary celebrations with a bang! The Plant-based Street Food Fair will be running again and we will finish with more local artists performing between 3pm-6pm.
