A truly exceptional weekend

June 1 & 2 

A truly exceptional weekend 

The beautiful gardens and grounds of Coombe Trenchard, near Lewtrenchard, will be open to the public this June when owners Sarah and Philip Marsh play host to their popular annual event - The English Country Garden Festival. 

A meticulously curated collection of exquisite stalls with exhibitors sourced from all corners of this wonderful region will be nestled within the tranquil gardens of this very special Edwardian Arts and Crafts country house, promising a feast for the senses and the soul. 

Sarah Marsh and co-organiser Lorna Vanier work hard to deliver an exceptional two day-event, bringing together a heady mix of specialist garden nurseries, artists, craft makers, food and drink producers. 

Lorna said: ‘The festival offers something for everyone, with artisans and artists, gifted growers, home and garden treasures galore - and this year we’re thrilled to have the Tamar Historic Transport Club and their classic vintage and veteran cars.’ 

Sarah added: ‘I just love to see the festival come to life - from the young to the young at heart, faithful four-legged friends too – the English Country Garden Festival is a chance for visitors to take valuable time away from everyday life, enjoy the eclectic fruits of country living and a pleasant pause in our gardens.’ 

More than 60 stallholders and exhibitors, the friendliest brigade of staff, volunteers and supporters are a fine example of good old fashioned community spirit at its best. 

Foodies won’t be disappointed with the scrumptious range of homemade lunches, teas, cakes, coffees and ice-creams available to fuel them as they wander or sit to gaze at magnificent Dartmoor views. 

Sarah and Lorna also invite charities from the region as part of their outreach programmes and the 2019 festival will welcome Children’s Hospice South West, Paws 2 Freedom, Made-Well, The Peredur Trust and Send a Cow.
