For a fabulous day out that will leave you inspired, entertained and that little bit wiser why not visit this year’s BBC Summer Festival at The NEC Birmingham.

You’ll find lots to do; whether your interests lie in cooking, home design, gardening or just shopping. There’s plenty to hold the kids' attention too - so why not make it an excursion for the whole family!

The BBC Summer Festival encompasses the following shows:

BBC Gardeners’ World Live features demonstrations by TV’s top gardening experts, innovative show gardens created by some of the world’s top designers, an extensive variety of plants and flowers in the stunning RHS Floral Marquee sponsored by Renault, plus hundreds of exhibitors.

You’ll find everything you need for a gourmet summer at the BBC Good Food Show Summer. With appearances from the crème de la crème of TV celebrity chefs, alfresco eating in the Dining Experience and an abundance of quality food and wine sampling.

A new area in the Show is the Countryfile Magazine area, focusing on the Great British countryside and sustainable living. You’ll discover imaginative ways to cut your carbon footprint by visiting our Sustainable Future eco feature, and can also enjoy talks by celebrities including John Craven and Ben Fogle, as well as industry experts, in the Green Clinic, hosted by environmental author, broadcaster and consultant Joanna Yarrow.

The Good Homes Magazine area will leave you armed with plenty of brain stimulation and exclusive show offers to add your own definitive signature and style to your home.

For fans of the amber nectar, show-goers may also visit Beers of the World Live which will be running alongside the BBC Summer Festival (Fri – Sun ticket holders only).

And we're also delighted to announce the XcapetotheSun Property Pavilion will be located in Hall 9 for the duration of the Summer Festival, featuring both overseas and UK property.

It’s excellent value for money too, as visitors can visit all the shows incorporated in the BBC Summer Festival on one entry fee - you can also reserve seats for celebrity demonstration in either the Gardeners' World Magazine Celebrity Theatre or Summer Kitchen for just £1.50 - so if you've always fancied getting up close and personal to James Martin, Ben Fogle or Alan Titchmarsh, select a session when prompted while you make your booking. Full timetables can be found on the tabs above.

We look forward to seeing you there!
