The Perfect June Escape: Root to Fruit Garden Festival and a Stay at Lucksall

As the days stretch out and the Herefordshire countryside bursts into life, June stands out as one of the most beautiful times of the year to explore the Wye Valley. There is a certain energy in the air when the meadows are lush, and the river is calm.

This year, there is an extra reason to visit Lucksall Holiday Park, as we prepare for the Root to Fruit Garden Festival, a celebration of nature and community.

 

Root to Fruit: A Celebration of Nature

On Saturday, 6th June, the Steiner Academy in Much Dewchurch will host the root to fruit garden festival. From 10:30 am until 4 pm, this event stands as a true highlight for anyone who appreciates the craft of gardening and the beauty of the outdoors. Set within stunning surroundings, the festival brings together people from across the county to share a love for horticulture and traditional skills.

Whether you are a seasoned grower or someone who simply enjoys a peaceful day out, the festival has plenty to offer. You can spend your time browsing a variety of stalls that sell everything from rare plants and healthy roots to unique pieces of local art. It is a fantastic opportunity to find something special for your own garden while supporting local artisans and growers from the community.

Make a Weekend of it at Lucksall

While the festival is a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, the best way to enjoy it is to turn your visit into a full summer getaway. Lucksall Holiday Park provides the ideal base for those attending upcoming events in the area. Our site is just a short, scenic drive from the festival, giving you the best of both worlds.

After a day of exploring root to fruit, head back to the park and let us handle the cooking. Our on-site Riverside Bar and Eatery is the perfect spot for people to relax with a meal overlooking the water. It is a wonderful way to unwind and enjoy the peaceful Wye Valley after the excitement of the festival.

Whatever your style of staycation, we can accommodate you. Whether you are touring in a caravan or motorhome, pitching a tent for a weekend of camping, or looking for the comfort of our glamping pods and huts, there is a space for every person. For those who want to return to these stunning surroundings time and again, you can even explore options to buy your own holiday home.
