PRESS RELEASE
New West Woodhay Gardeners’ Fair - A Paradise for Passionate Gardeners
West Woodhay Gardeners’ Fair is being held in Association with *The National Garden Scheme, in
the elegant private gardens and country estate of West Woodhay House near Newbury in Berkshire,
on 23-25 June 2017, with all proceeds being donated to charity.
The Fair, which has been masterminded by the same team who ran the successful Cottesbrooke
Gardeners’ Fair in Northamptonshire for over five years, will offer passionate gardeners a treasure
trove of quality plants and gardening products, direct from some of the UK and Europe’s finest plant
nurseries and product makers.
In its first year, The West Woodhay Gardeners
Fair has already attracted many of the UK’s top
plant growers including RHS Gold Medal
winning nurseries Hardy’s Cottage Plants and
Tynings Climbers, Special Plants, The Botanic
Nursery and Shady Plants.
The diversity and individuality of the garden
paraphernalia exhibitors at the Fair, reflects
the careful selection process of the organisers,
who have only selected products made with
the highest quality craftsmanship. Garden
product makers include James Fuller from Home and Garden Ironwork, with his hand-made garden
furniture, the Victorian Glass House Company, bespoke gates and hurdles from craftsman Dave
Seabourne from Green Man Woodcrafts and from Paris, some French chic, from Ma Mouillere, with
its range of designer garden over-shoes.
Entrance tickets to the Fair also give visitors an exclusive opportunity to stroll around the beautiful
private gardens and estate of West Woodhay
House (right), which is not generally open to
the public.
West Woodhay House has a long-held
reputation for raising huge sums for charity.
Over the last decade events at the estate have
already raised over £250,000 for charitable
causes. The aim of the Estate in 2017 is to
continue this tradition by staging this new
annual garden event, which raises the bar in
terms of content and presentation. Once again,
all proceeds from the new Fair will be distributed between five local charities and the Fair’s chosen
national charity beneficiary, the National Garden Scheme (NGS).
Tickets to the Fair cost £9 each for advance online booking, or £12 each on the gate. The Ticket price
includes entry to the West Woodhay Gardens and Estate and free parking.
