To celebrate 40 years of Barnsdale Gardens, join Nick Hamilton, Matt Biggs, David Hurrion and Barnsdale’s Head Gardener Jon Brocklebank on either of these question and answer sessions.

If you love growing your own food then Barnsdale is the place to be this weekend.

We'll be opening up the productive areas that are normally off-limits to visitors, and our expert grower will be available to advise you on your own veggie production and chat about her favourite subject.

If you’ve visited us earlier in the year you’ll enjoy seeing our crops coming to fruition, and if you come along on Sunday, Susie will lead tours of Barnsdale's veg and fruit growing areas, at 12pm & 2pm.

The Helenium Tea Room kitchen will provide tasty bites to try all made from our produce and children can take part in potting/sowing their own vegetable plants to take home.

Browse some wonderful items from local artisan makers. You will also have the opportunity to see some of them in action.

If you are a maker and would like a stall, please contact us.

Ann Duggan will be performing live in the gardens with her guitarist Rob Hines. With two American tours and gigging extensively across the UK,  Annie Duggan and Rob Hines have established themselves as one of the Midlands most engaging and vibrant performers, who have received national acclaim both at home and abroad, not only for their own songs but also for their interpretation of material from artists who have influenced their own music which is a seamless blend of Americana, Blues, Jazz, Folk and Roots, covering a wide genre of musical styles.

Annie is known for her powerhouse and soulful vocals and Rob Hines for his distinctive wonderful finger-picking guitar playing that has earned him the nickname "The Wizard" . Together they deliver with an energy and a passion that takes you on a musical journey that touches the heart of any audience. You can find more about Ann here: www.annduggan.co.uk.

At the same time, why not enjoy one of our perfect summer Barnsdale Picnics on the lawn.
