Organiser Martin Blow said: “The spring plant fair here is a favourite with garden lovers and offers a great opportunity to kick-start your gardening year.

"Entry to the plant fair is completely free, so you can just pop along and browse the plant stalls. This year we have a brilliant line-up of plant nurseries attending from near and far bringing lots of flowering bulbs, perennials and shrubs for instant colour, plus plenty of later flowering plants to plant now for colour into the summer and beyond. 

"Wildflowers, alpines and plants for shade will also feature at the fair. Plus, there are some lovely garden accessories available for those finishing touches to your garden display
