Unique Gardeners\u2019 Fair is coming to Loughborough\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gardeners can enjoy a new event being brought to the heart of Loughborough.<\/p>\n

Love Loughborough BID has created the first Gardeners\u2019 Fair which will take place\u00a0on Sunday, August 6\u00a02023 in the town centre.<\/p>\n

The event is \u2018free to all visitors\u2019 who will be able to browse and buy plants, flowers and many other items for their garden. \u2018Artisan Makers\u2019 of all kinds, including food will be joining in to give the event a true \u2018Country Fair\u2019 atmosphere. We are also inviting local community groups to promote their work in anything \u2018green\u2019!<\/p>\n

The Gardeners\u2019 Fair was one of the projects chosen by Charnwood Borough Council to receive funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.<\/p>\n

Lez Cope-Newman, Chair of Love Loughborough BID, said: \u201cThe Gardeners\u2019 Fair will be a wonderful event for Loughborough and I would encourage everyone to come along to the launch event\u00a0on August 6.\u00a0We aim to create a \u2018horticultural heave\u2019 in Loughborough town centre. We want to bring the best of gardening to the town centre. We will also be bringing in high quality Artisan food and Craft to create a real event for everyone. Gardeners\u2019 Fairs are also planned for September and October and the aim is to make these regular events throughout next Spring and Summer. This will not only be great for visitors but also support the wider town centre economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cllr Jenni Tillotson, the Council\u2019s lead member for economic development, regeneration and town centres, said: \u201cThe Council is supporting a range of projects through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to boost the local economy and local communities\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to see the Gardeners\u2019 Fair being launched and look forward to it taking place in the town centre and attracting visitors to Loughborough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gardeners\u2019 Fair takes place\u00a0on Sunday, August 6th<\/sup>, 10am-4pm, in Loughborough\u2019s Devonshire Square, Cattle Market & Market Place<\/p>\n

As part of the creation of the fair, Love Loughborough is also aiming to create a Beautiful \u2018Living Wall\u2019 in Devonshire Square. The wall will transform a drab, concrete fa\u00e7ade above shops into a living, breathing wall of plants, bringing nature to the town centre.<\/p>\n

The Living Wall and Gardeners\u2019 Fair project has received \u00a3321,000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.<\/p>\n
