Arley’s Garden Festival is firmly established as one of the foremost events in the horticultural calendar of the Northwest. Now in its 31st year, ours is a show which regularly attracts over 5,000 visitors with gardening interests (and those looking for a fun family day out!).

I will be demonstrating at this event in Cardigan Castle.

Goosfest is designed to offer high quality entertainment and art to our local community, in local venues with ticket prices as low as we can afford to cover our costs. The festival has built up a strong reputation over the past 19 years, and we’re all looking forward to this year’s programme of activities.

For the past few years, Goosfest has begun with Goosfest Art Weekend over the last weekend in September, providing a wonderful display of art by more than 20 professional artists, on show in the beautiful Victorian barn at Orchards Farm opposite Bidlea Dairy, Twemlow. We are also working closely with Cheshire Clay Studio at Lowes Farm to provide ‘taster’ clay workshops. A wide range of workshops are being offered, including painting, printmaking, various pottery sessions, cookery and pétanque.

I’ll be back after a year off!

16-18 October 2026, Victoria Baths, Manchester (Preview: Thursday 15 October 18.00-21.00)
