BBC Gardeners' World Spring Fair 2027 in Beaulieu, Hampshire

BBC Gardeners' World Spring Fair is the definitive kick-off to the UK gardening year, staged across three days in the parkland of the Beaulieu estate in Hampshire. Tickets include entry to the show itself as well as the wider Beaulieu attraction, from the National Motor Museum to Palace House and the Victorian walled kitchen gardens. The Fair is built around the Hillier Experience, a headline show garden, a series of Showcase Gardens and the Beautiful Borders zone, which specialises in ideas for small plots. Drop-in stages hosted by the BBC Gardeners' World Magazine team run all three days, complemented by one-to-one advice sessions with Hillier and APL landscape designers. Visitors come as much to shop as to look. More than 30 specialist nurseries and around a hundred exhibitors sell plants, bulbs, tools, garden buildings and gifts, while a Plant Crèche and Shop 'n' Drop service lets guests leave purchases while they continue touring the site. The Good Food Market brings artisan producers, street food and the new Spring Tasting Table with B58 Winery and 820 Spirits. It is an event designed for families and for keen gardeners alike. Dogs on leads are welcome throughout, children get their own programme of activities and Little Beaulieu adventure playground, and free parking plus shuttle buses from the car park make the day straightforward for anyone travelling by car.
