A summer bounty of the sustainable and the eclectic, crafted and grown, held in the glorious gardens and grounds of Hellens Manor.

We are already planning for an extra special 20th anniversary HGF in 2027
WAYS OF THE WILD ~ Folklore, fable, myth and magic rooted in the land

Exhibitor applications will open on 1st November. For more info take a look at our Booking a Space page

During our fallow year, we’ve been nurturing an exciting new project: Seasons of the Land.
Each season, we welcome children from Riverside Primary School to Hellens to explore the estate, connect with the natural world, and experience the changing rhythms of the seasons through hands-on learning and discovery.
To find out more about the project and follow our seasonal journey, please visit our Educational Work page.

Tell us what YOU thought about the weekend!  FEEDBACK SURVEY HERE

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to share their feedback – both the good and the not-so-good – about this year’s festival. We genuinely appreciate it. Hellens Garden Festival is an organic, evolving event. It’s not without its imperfections, and it’s run on a shoestring budget. What makes it happen is an incredible community of individuals who give their time, energy, and heart because they believe in doing good things for good reasons.

Our mission has always been to inspire – to spark curiosity, reflection, and conversations about the planet, people, and the environment. We strive to keep ticket prices low to make the event as accessible as possible. We’re grateful to everyone who supported our trial of online-only ticket sales. This change helped us manage visitor numbers more effectively and avoid turning people away at the gate due to capacity limits.

As many of you know, Hellens Garden Festival is more than just a day out – it’s a vital fundraising event in support of St Michael’s Hospice, Back to the Wild and other local beneficiaries. Your presence and support help us continue making a meaningful difference.

Thank you again. Keep the feedback coming – we’re listening.
