Belvoir Castle’s Flower and Garden Show 2025 is set to be the best yet, as the historic residence can announce that BBC’s Adam Frost and ITV’s David Domoney will be attending.
Taking place on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th of July, the popular show is a haven for garden enthusiasts, outdoor-minded families and those seeking a beautiful mid-summer day out packed with nature, flower inspiration and helpful tips and expertise.
Famous experts and industry heavyweights Adam Frost and David Domoney will be attending across the weekend, hosting a variety of one-off talks and meet-and-greets, and participating in a Q&A-style gardener’s question time, answering questions from all levels of green-fingered enthusiasts.
Visitors can also admire stunning border displays from talented designers who are based as far afield as Lisbon with the judges selecting a deserving winner, engage in children’s gardening sessions led by Karen Gimson from BBC Radio Leicester, listen to live music from vintage singer Johnny Victory and enjoy unique shopping opportunities from small businesses. To fuel visitors for a busy day, there will be a selection of mouthwatering food and drink including Belvoir’s legendary Afternoon Tea.
Andy Tudbury, Head Gardener at Belvoir Castle, said:
“Last year’s Flower and Garden Show was a huge hit with visitors from near and afar, who flocked to see Belvoir bloom with beautiful displays, enjoy workshops and for a mooch about the stalls.
“For its eighth year, we wanted to go further by inviting two of the industry’s experts to host Q&As and one-off talks, which we hope inspires visitors of all abilities. Whether you’re a gardening novice with young children who admires nature’s beauty and wants to know more, to the dedicated amateur gardeners tending to their plots for years, there’s something for everyone at this year’s show.”
