BBC Gardeners' World Autumn Fair Returns to Audley End House & Gardens

As the gardening season begins its transition into autumn, one of the highlights of the horticultural calendar is once again just around the corner.

The BBC Gardeners' World Autumn Fair returns to Audley End House & Gardens, bringing together gardens, growers, specialists, plants, inspiration and practical ideas for the seasons ahead.

Set within the grounds of the magnificent Audley End House, the event offers visitors the opportunity to explore beautiful displays, hear from leading gardening personalities, discover specialist nurseries and enjoy a day immersed in all things gardening.

Autumn is often overlooked in favour of spring, yet it remains one of the most rewarding times of year in the garden. Whether it's planting for next year, making improvements for wildlife, dividing perennials or simply enjoying the changing colours of the season, there is always something to learn and take inspiration from.

At English Country Gardens, we are particularly interested in the people behind the gardens, projects, businesses and ideas that help shape our horticultural world. Events such as the Autumn Fair provide a valuable opportunity for visitors to meet growers, makers and experts face to face, while supporting many of the smaller specialist businesses that help keep our gardening traditions alive.

Community Benefits

At English Country Gardens, we believe the best ideas are often shared between gardeners.

Our Community Group exists as a welcoming place for people who enjoy gardens, nature, wildlife and British craftsmanship to ask questions, share experiences, seek advice and learn from one another. Whether you're managing an estate garden, an allotment or a few containers on a balcony, there is always something to discover and someone willing to help.

From time to time, we are also fortunate to receive opportunities through our industry relationships, such as event ticket giveaways, discounts and early access offers, which we are pleased to share with our members.

These are never the reason for the group to exist, but they are a nice bonus and a small way of thanking those who take part in the conversations, contribute their knowledge and help make the community what it is.

If you'd like to join a friendly group of gardeners, nature lovers and countryside enthusiasts, we'd be delighted to welcome you.

Looking Ahead

We're excited to be attending this year's BBC Gardeners' World Autumn Fair ourselves and look forward to exploring the gardens, exhibitors, growers and inspiring ideas that make these events such a highlight of the gardening calendar.

For those unable to attend, we'll be sharing some of the people, products and stories we discover along the way, helping to give our community a flavour of the event and some of the highlights that caught our attention.

We'll also be producing a dedicated episode about the Autumn Fair for our upcoming video podcast, which will be available on our YouTube channel @english.country.gardens.

If you're attending, we'd love to hear what you're most looking forward to seeing. If not, we hope to bring a little of the event to you.

A sincere thank you to the team at BBC Gardeners' World Events for providing both the ticket giveaway and discount code for our community.
