Midsummer in Malvern

What better way to mark the start of summer (and the end of lockdown) than the new Midsummer Garden Life Festival at Three Counties Showground in Malvern, Worcestershire, on 23-25 June? As well as 40 independent plant nurseries and 100 handpicked gardenalia stalls, you’ll find a range of locally sourced food stands. There will be drama, too, celebrating the plants, gardens, theatre and music of the Mediterranean and Far East as well as a classic British summer.
