Ashfield's annual Plant and Garden Fair returns this weekend just a few miles from Hucknall

Ashfield District Council's annual Plant and Garden Fair is back for the 29th year this weekend.

The event, which is aimed at residents living across the whole district, will be held on Portland Square in Sutton-in-Ashfield, which is around nine miles from Hucknall.

Visitors will be able to shop for a wide variety of plants, flowers, garden ornaments and accessories this Sunday (21 May) from 9am – 1pm.

The town centre will be bustling with a colourful array of indoor and outdoor plants, annuals, hanging baskets, window boxes, perennials, cacti, succulents, ferns, grasses, bedding plants, vegetable plants, planters, and garden decorations.   

Councillor Samantha Deakin, Executive Lead member for Parks, Town Centres and Environmental Services said: "The annual Plant and Garden Fair is always a popular market event. That's why we are so pleased to be bringing it back to Sutton again for its 29th year. It looks like the weather is going to be on our side so make sure you head down to Portland Square for all your gardening needs!

"This market event marks the start of our fantastic summer of events. We will be releasing details for our upcoming events shortly; keep an eye on our social media and website. The Council is committed to providing high quality free events for the community and this summer is going to be our best events programme yet".

The fair marks the start of Ashfield's Summer of Fun events line up which includes the Ashfield Food and Drink Festival which is held in Hucknall and Ashfield Day which is hosted on the Lawn Pleasure Grounds (Sutton Lawn) in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
