Share in our success!

Lord & Lady Cavendish, the owners of the Holker Estate, are very involved in this flagship event for the Estate and are a constant presence on the showfield.Unique location – the Festival takes place in an ancient deer park.

Holker Hall is located in the stunning landscape of the Lakeland fells. This means that the Holker Garden Festival attracts substantial 'tourist traffic' from across the North West. The Lake District remains in the top 3 destinations for 'staycations' and inward travel.

The Festival, now in its 20th year, is run by professional staff employed throughout the year who feel passionately about the success of the event.

Year on year our exhibitors praise the smooth running of the event:

"We found the Holker Garden Festival a great show to be a part of. The show was the most friendly one we've been involved with, and everything went to plan. This was without a doubt due to the way it was so efficiently organised. We were able to show off our work to a huge new crowd over the three days of the show, and had plenty of media attention too. "Paul Richards Garden Design & Greenbelt Landscapes, 2011 Best Festival Show Garden.

"I think the show was suberbly run with the grounds being managed extreamly efficiently throughout." Brighter Blooms, Preston

"I would like to say thank you for your organisation and wonderful assistance during the build up and the show. Once again Class A service and really appreciated." John Roberts, Sharp Paving Ltd, Kendal - show garden exhibitor for 5 years. 

"I have to write to tell you how impressed I am with the organisation and set up of the Garden Festival. This is my first time of trading at this venue and I certainly hope to be there again next year. The whole process of planning through to arriving and the efficiency of the staff on duty is second to none." Kit and Kaboodle, Beadale.

"Better than an ad in the Yellow Pages. "Patrick Holmes, Plantspace, Carnforth, Lancs - first time show garden exhibitor at Holker in 2010
