Flower Power makes a welcome happy return to the grounds of historic Newburgh Priory
With the kind agreement of the Wombwell family Flower Power Fairs are running a second specialist plant fair in the grounds of Newburgh Priory on Sunday 23rd August 2009. This follows on from the previously successful fair which was held in April and attended by almost 1000 people.
Judy Popley, Flower Power Fairs Event Director said, “The Spring show was such a great success that Sir George Wombwell kindly invited us back. Newburgh Priory has very limited openings and this show will give visitors a second opportunity to not only see the gardens and visit the house but also meet a truly remarkable family. We will be bringing around 18 of the North’s most passionate nurseries and growers. They will be offering a wide selection of unusual plants for sale including; summer herbaceous plants, crocosmia, hostas, alpines, shrubs, exotics and unusual herbaceous perennials.”
Newburgh Priory is a magnificent family house set within the picturesque landscape of the Howardian Hills near Coxwold, North Yorkshire. Standing on the site of an Augustinian Priory, which was founded in 1145, it is a fine stately home in a superb setting with breathtaking views. The extensive grounds contain a water garden, walled garden, topiary yews and woodland walks together with a stunning lake.
Entry to the Fair is £2.50 and this also provides access to the entire 40 acres of priory grounds, formal gardens and woodland walks. The house will be open on an informal walk around basis from 11.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm. The tearooms in the old priory kitchens will also be open throughout the day providing a wide range of home-made cakes and teas.
