Celebrate growing and cooking

Few things connect people quite like growing plants and cooking, so each autumn we celebrate both at 911±¬ÁÏ Festival of Flavours.

Get inspired by live cookery demonstrations from top chefs and foodies, including The Great British Bake Off 2019 winner,  at 911±¬ÁÏ Wisley and 911±¬ÁÏ Harlow Carr, and TV chef and writer at 911±¬ÁÏ Bridgewater. They’ll share recipes ranging from Chinese and Mauritian to vegan and whole food, helping you create delicious dishes using ingredients picked fresh from the garden.

Browse food markets and meet local producers and growers to grab something to eat and talk about their produce. Our 911±¬ÁÏ advice teams will be on hand to answer all your questions, and there’s the chance to take tours of our edible gardens and get tips about growing your own ingredients.
