About

HAMPSHIRE COUNTRY & GARDEN FESTIVAL IS BACK! ​​​The annual Hampshire Country & Garden Festival is back for 2021 in the beautiful, private gardens of Bere Mill in Whitchurch.

On Sunday 27th June the festival opens at 9.30am and offers a fabulous day out for all the family. Be inspired by expert guest speakers on topics as diverse as 'Producing Food with Nature', 'The Well Gardened Mind' and 'Running Free, Swimming Wild.' Live music from local band 'Head North' will create a wonderful atmosphere as you sample Hampshire's finest food and drink and let your younger family members try circus skills, participate in activities with children's or cuddle animal rescue rabbits - just a few of the many children's activities available.

For keen gardeners, there are opportunities to browse the beautiful plant nurseries, drop in at the Garden Clinic hosted by local gardening experts and ask the expert 'Gardeners Question Time' panel all your gardening queries. For shoppers, there will be a wide range of stalls from local businesses selling arts and gifts, food and drink.

Last but not least, enter your canine friends in our very own Family Fun Dog show! The weekend is in support of The Hampshire Medical Fund, a charity buying pioneering medical equipment for Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester NHS hospitals.

The focus this year is to purchase new and vital Resuscitaire machines for the neonatal departments. With thanks to our gold sponsor, JM Finn Wealth Management and our silver sponsors, Fowlers Architecture and Planning and NFU Mutual North Hampshire. To book tickets: www.hampshiregardenfestival.co.uk
