Events in 2024

 We've got a few amazing events already lined up for this year and we are still looking at adding others...

there are some more Plant Hunters Fairs to add to the below, and others are still TBC 

so keep watching this space! 

 The Good Things Market in Hull - Sunday 3rd March 
We love The Good Things Market. It's always got a really nice vibe to it. It's free to attend and there's a great variety of different stalls each time. Perhaps it's a northern thing, but it's just a friendly affair that we really like going to. And it's close to Mother's Day - so you can pick up a present if your mum likes to make, mend or grow. 

Southwell Plant Hunters Fair - Sunday 17th March
This is the first Plant Hunters Fair of the gardening season and it's a location that's really nice (and one we've visited before we did events ourselves!) We'll have plenty of  SneeboerNiwaki and  Haws watering cans with us - to help you get ready for the 2024 gardening season!

RHS Urban Show Manchester - 18th - 21st April (TBC)
This is a new show being run by the RHS and we're just filling in the paper work (and crossing our fingers it'll be a cracking event in its first iteration....!)

 

The Plant Lovers day - Creake Abbey, Norfolk - Saturday 18th May

We went to this event for the first time last year and loved it - the sun was shining, it's a lovely place, with a lot of really nice plant stalls (yes we did spend a bit too much ourselves!) 


Royal Windsor Flower Show - Saturday 8th June
We went along to the Royal Windsor Flower Show last year, not quite knowing what to expect.... and it was a LOVELY day out! The plants were lovely, the gardens were brilliant given it was *just* a one day event. Frankly, it felt like the 'ultimate' local village show - on steroids. Really nice for families and just a lovely spot of the world. So we're heading back!

Leicester Botanical Gardens open day (date TBC) 

Leicester Botanic Gardens are 16 acres of lovingly cultivated grounds and greenhouses, which focus on global biodiversity for research and teaching. Every year they host a Plant Sale and Family Day - which is a great opportunity to have a look around the gardens, pick up some plants and have some fun. We'll be there to have a chat to about garden tools (or tools generally) - we'll have plenty of SneeboerNiwaki and Haws watering cans on show. 

Holkham Hall Summer Garden and Outdoor Living Fair, Norfolk - Saturday 15th June
We love Holkham Hall in Norfolk and have been visiting it for many years.  The Walled Gardens are just beautiful and we've enjoyed seeing it change and develop over the years. In the last few years we've been to their Autumn Garden and Outdoor Living Fair, and they've just launched a new Summer event. We'll be there with a selection of (mainly) garden from SneeboerNiwaki and Opinel


Burghley Horse Trials - Stamford, Lincolnshire - 5th-8th September

We're delighted to be heading back to Burghley Horse Trials! It'll be year 3 for us - trading - as it's a local event to us so it's one we've personally attended for many years. We'll be bringing along all of our tools and kit - gardening tools from Sneeboer, Niwaki, and Haws watering cans, as well as Carhartt clothing, some Toyo toolboxes - and King Dick tools to store inside! 

Holkham Autumn Garden and Outdoor Living Fair (Date TBC)

Bicester Scramble - (Sunday 6th October - attendance TBC!)

Cotswold Christmas Fair  - 11th-14th November TBC

We've been to the Cotswold Christmas Fair for a number of years now and it's all indoors, which makes it a good space when it's cold outdoors.  It moved last year, and we're not sure yet where it'll be - but when we know, when we book, we'll let you know!



Burghley House Christmas Market, Stamford - 28th Nov-1st Dec

Our little chalet is a now a bit of a regular fixture at the Burghley House Christmas Market. With the snow blowers, the abundance of Christmas trees, and the mulled wine, it's a proper christmas show. We did most of our present shopping here too - so we can vouch for the quality of the other stallholders!

Presents Galore, Newmarket - 29th Nov - 1st Dec
A new event for us that we're looking forward to heading to. And yes, the eagle-eyed will see that this overlaps with Burghley - so one of us will be at each... gulp - it's a first for us (we genuinely like hanging out together) - so if it's freezing you'll find me (Lou) at this indoor event!!
