Chichele garden fair

Saturday 25 May 9am-3pm

Chichele College, Higham Ferrers

A unique and beautiful setting in which garden lovers can indulge. Not quite Chelsea but homespun and community minded.

Our annual fair is held in the ancient walled medieval styled garden of Chichele College and the adjoining Duchy Barn Garden. A variety of stalls will be selling plants, garden related fare and offering horticultural advice.

This year our theme is wildflowers and pollinators with an exhibition of local school children’s art in the Chichele College building celebrating their importance. With entertainment, refreshments from the NAAFI van and willow weaving demonstrations, there is much to enjoy whatever your age. It's a Farmer’s Market morning too, so we shall be accompanied by bellringing.

The residents of Higham Ferrers welcome visitors to their garden each year.

Enjoy an ice cream, buy plants for your own garden, or sit awhile sipping a summer cocktail listening to a duo playing relaxing guitar music.
