Free ticket giveaway through Wheels-Alive for this year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Spring Fair, to be held at Beaulieu, Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th May 2024… but if you are interested, ‘be quick’! …says Kim Henson.
STOP PRESS… We have been inundated with requests for these tickets, and thank you to all our readers who have contacted us, but the tickets have now gone. That said, the Spring Fair is a fascinating event and well worth visiting.
Beaulieu is, of course, home to the National Motor Museum and a haven for anyone interested in motoring and motor cars. Indeed many Wheels-Alive readers have visited to enjoy the museum, plus the multitude of other attractions there (including the historic Palace House).
However Beaulieu also hosts shows that are not directly related to vehicles, and in April last year, the BBC Gardeners’ World Spring Fair was held on the site.
This colourful, cheering Spring Fair will be returning to Beaulieu from 3rd to 5th May this year, and is well worth a visit – and we are aware that many Wheels-Alive readers are interested in gardening as well as motor vehicles. The show can provide inspiration and encouragement for would-be gardeners as well as established enthusiasts.
Planned highlights of this year’s show will be:
The Hillier Experience, with a central, woodland-themed show garden
The ‘Get Growing’ stage – an ‘exciting edibles space’ – with special guests
The ‘Have-A-Go’ Workshop Marquee – With daily workshops
An extended programme of Palace House Victorian Kitchen demonstrations
Association of Professional Landscapers’ Landscaping and Design Clinic
Florestry Workshops
Budding Little Gardeners’ Workshops
Well if you would like to visit this year’s event, Wheels-Alive has teamed up with BBC Gardeners’ World and there’s a pair of free tickets on offer for anyone who would like to attend. You will need to be quick though – the tickets will be awarded to the first person who e-mails me through the Wheels-Alive website to claim them, and at the latest by midnight tomorrow, Wednesday 17th April. The successful applicant will be contacted directly (and of course your name and address will be needed).
Tickets include entry to all of Beaulieu’s grounds, gardens and attractions, including the National Motor Museum – always worth a tour or re-visit!
