will be enveloped in the heady fragrance and rich colours of midsummer, as they walk through the verdant garden bursting with blooms including roses and lavender. As June is the peak of the British strawberry season, they will be able to celebrate the taste of summer with a selection of the very best local strawberry varieties which are being grown especially for the Midsummer Garden Life Festival. Quintessential English music will entertain visitors as they enjoy the best of British food and drink, from elegant afternoon teas to gourmet fish and chips. There will also be a bevy of British beverages available too including traditional local ciders and botanical summer gins.
Next stop is the Mediterranean. Festival goers who are missing their holidays to Europe can take a stroll into the dry heat and aromatic scents of an ancient olive grove, in a Mediterranean garden created by olive tree specialist Villaggio Verde. Visitors can relax to cool sounds of Latin jazz and enjoy a Mezze of Greek cuisine and refreshments.
Then it is time to take off, on a jet-lag free trip across the world to enjoy far away, exotic destinations created by award-winning garden designer Peter Dowle and Leaf Creative. The first stop is a vibrant and colourful visit to the floral and musical delights of the Caribbean, serenaded with the joyous rhythm of a steel band. Then it is on to the last leg of the travel tour, to enjoy a relaxed stroll through a tranquil acer-filled woodland garden glade in the Far East.
At the heart of the festival is the Happiness Theatre which will provide a host of music and musings from special guests including RHS Malvern favourite and gardening guru Carol Klein, who will be talking to festival goers throughout the three days. There will also be plenty of Midsummer madness from garden designer James Alexander Sinclair, who will be revelling in revealing some of his lesser-known cultural talents, with readings from a selection of his favourite floral poetry.
Commenting, head of shows Di Walton, said: “We are excited to be able to create a floral and cultural spectacular for people to
enjoy, where they can come together safely within our 90 acres showground and share in the beauty and culture of Midsummer. This will be unique event with a real celebratory festival vibe, which we hope encapsulates the height of Midsummer, through plants, food and music.
“We will of course be following all the latest Government social distance guidelines and are offering limited access to the showground each day and therefore advance booking is essential.”
The Midsummer Garden Life Festival in June is the first of Three 'Life Festival' events taking place at Three Counties Showground this summer. In July the showground hosts the Three Counties Good Life Show, which will be providing a fabulous few days of fun for those looking to have a go at growing their own in their garden or plot. The third summer festival will be a The Fun Life Festival in August, which as the name suggests will be a fun filled festival for the whole family to explore the many joys of outdoor living.
