BBC Gardeners' World Live and BBC Good Food Show Summer are back at Birmingham NEC from June 16 till June 19, 2022. The two-for-the-price-of-one show promises the latest garden ideas, plants, products and trends, alongside food from around the world, artisan products and innovative kitchen gadgets.



As always, a host of famous faces will be attending, including Monty Don , Adam Frost, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift , Arit Anderson, Alan Titchmarsh, James Martin , Dame Mary Berry, John Torode, Nadiya Hussain, Tom Kerridge and Michel Roux.

BBC Gardeners' World Live boasts a huge variety of show gardens, designed to give visitors ideas for their own gardens at home. Meanwhile, the Beautiful Borders exhibits provide inspiration for compact spaces.



One of the largest floral marquees in the country will be at the NEC, with award-winning nurseries and specialist growers displaying a range of plants, from orchids to lilies, dianthus to cacti. This year marks 100 years of the BBC, so a selection of displays in the floral marquee will be inspired by popular TV and radio programmes, including The Archers and Only Fools and Horses. There will also be a homage to Gardeners' World's Birmingham roots, with a Pebble Mill inspired display, designed by Peter Seabrook who passed away earlier this year, and a Peaky Blinders feature designed by Alexandra Froggatt .



This year's show will also shine a spotlight on sustainability, offering tips and inspiration which aim to make sustainable gardening accessible to all. Make a beeline for the Practically Plastic Free Garden and Marshalls Sustainability Garden for simple ideas to grow your garden in a greener way.

On the My Gardeners' World Stage, Let's Grow Your Own stage and BBC Gardeners' World Magazine Stage there will be talks and sessions, with show exhibitors and special guests like Frances Tophill and Adam Frost offering expertise and top tips.

For the first time since 2019, BBC Good Food Show Summer will return alongside BBC Gardeners' World Live with a star-studded line-up of the nation's favourite food experts. Celebrity chefs will cook delicious dishes on the Big Kitchen stage, with masterclasses hosted by drinks expert and connoisseur Tom Surgey .

At the Italian Kitchen, hosted by Chris Bavin, the likes of Gennaro Contaldo, Ravneet Gill, Chef Giovanni Santoro, Joe Hurd and Ruby Bhogal will stir-up the very best Italian cuisine and showcase new ways to make traditional dishes.



Adam Frost, who will be sharing tips and advice in the BBC Gardeners' World Live Theatre on June 18 and 19, said: "Gardeners' World Live is a great event for the gardening community to come together and celebrate what we love, with beautiful displays and a jam-packed event. The show is also perfect for anybody looking for exciting garden inspiration to try at home."

Tom Kerridge, who will be cooking in the Big Kitchen sessions on June 16, said: "There aren't many events that compare to the BBC Good Food Show Summer – filled with live entertainment, cooking inspiration, shopping and tasting. It really is the ultimate summer day out for food lovers."
