Cottesbrooke Hall Plant Finder's Fair

When and where? 26-28 June; Cottesbrooke Hall, Northamptonshire.

Why visit? Fed up with your garden looking the same as everyone else's? Inspired by the famous Courson garden fair outside Paris, this fantastic fair offers visitors the best plants from hand-picked, specialist nurseries - along with must-have garden accessories that aren't generally available on the show circuit. Last year's inaugural fair was such a success, organisers immediately set about making it an annual event.

Further information: Tickets are £7.50 each. Find out more at www.cottesbrookehall.co.uk.
