BBC Gardeners' World Live & BBC Good Food Show Summer


It's good to know that kids go free to BBC Gardeners' World Live and the BBC Good Food Show Summer on Family weekend. On Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th paying adults can bring up to two children under 18 into the Show for free. Plus children under 5 get free admission into the Show everyday.

The Shows are aiming to help parents encourage their children to get involved with cooking, gardening and show them Britain's great variety of food and above all to have fun!

Monty Don says: "BBC Gardeners' World Live is a great way to educate children on gardening and food, giving them the chance to see how it is grown and where it comes from. Both shows merge fantastically together to encourage children to enjoy growing their food and cooking it."   
Celebrity chef James Martin says: "BBC Good Food Show Summer is a fantastic way to teach children about healthy eating. They can learn how to grow their own food and then cook it up into something delicious. It's the perfect summer day out for all the family with activities all day long including: arts and crafts, entertainment and lots of wonderful food and gardening."
Highlights

Gardeners' Green
Visit the ever-popular Gardeners' Green area of the Show for family entertainment at the weekend, including special appearances from children's book "Garden Crafts for Children" author and Chelsea Flower Show award-winning garden designer; Dawn Isaac. Dawn gets kids involved with all sorts of arts and craft activity including vegetable and herb gardening, growing projects and simple crafts.

Plus Gardeners' Green gives families the chance to enjoy music from a live band and play garden games and activities provided by the centre of Ecology & Hydrology such as Ladybird top trumps.

Families also have the opportunity to visit Picnic Hill where they can eat their lunch outdoors whilst watching gardening experts like Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh give tips on the Grow Your Own Garden.

We also have the Guide Dogs from Leamington Spa back again this year. Each day they will have 2 slots at Gardeners' Green, where families are able to see how the amazing dogs are trained.
