Rare Plant Fair at The Bishop's Palace

About Us

Set within our 800-year-old Palace and RHS partner gardens, discover an exceptional range of plants from carefully selected nurseries. Each nursery is a genuine grower, offering a diverse selection of perennials, shrubs, trees, alpines, bulbs, and exotic plants. Many of our nursery owners are experts in their field, with some even holding National Collections. They're always on hand to offer expert advice and can bring pre-ordered plants to the fair. Be sure to check their websites in advance via the Rare Plant Fair website.

Tickets include access to our stunning 14-acre RHS partner gardens, providing the perfect backdrop for a day of plant exploration and inspiration.

Admission (managed by the Rare Plant Fair organisers)
- Admission is £9 per adult and includes the Fair and Gardens.
