Grow Your Own Potatoes

Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th February

Grow Your Own Potato Weekend

Come along to this free event and learn all about spuds and the benefits of growing them at our annual Grow Your Own Potatoes Weekend on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th February. Everyone is welcome, whether they are an experienced vegetable grower or a novice.

Our team of horticultural experts will be on hand throughout the event to give visitors lots of complimentary advice and there will be free information on selecting, planting, caring for and harvesting potatoes. We will also be running our famous potato modelling competition for children - youngsters will be challenged to create weird and wonderful creatures and people from potatoes. The closing date for entries is 12noon on Sunday 19th February.

During the event we will be hosting potato workshops offering people advice on choosing spuds to plant in their gardens, allotments and even in containers on patios. Our restaurants will also have a variety of potato based dishes for people to try too.
