Preparations are underway for the Midlands Home and Garden Festival at Belvedere House, Gardens and Park with over 200 exhibitors to display at the three-day event from Friday, August 17, to Sunday, August 19.

The event is a must for all homeowners and anyone interested in the furniture, flooring, curtains and doors it takes to turn a house into a cosy home. The event is sure to please the enthusiastic gardener, who can get lots of information about the flower beds, hedges and vegetable plots that could transform your patch of earth into a beautiful garden.

Held in the stunning grounds of Belvedere House, Gardens and Park, this festival is a wonderful showcase of all that's attractive, exciting and innovative about modern-day interior decoration and landscape gardening.

Over the course of the three days, you can expect to be informed, impressed and entertained by the sheer range of top-quality products, expert services and helpful advice on offer. There will be more than 200 exhibitors at the event, each displaying interesting household or gardening items. Gardening experts will be on hand to give tips and to share green-fingered wisdom.

Free seminars on all sorts of topics, from renewable energy to gardening to bee-keeping, will be held during the festival. You will also have the opportunity to purchase all kinds of products at very reasonable - and maybe even discounted - prices.

You will have fun at the festival too. Enjoy our craft and design village, not to mention the scrumptious Taste of the Midlands food produce, or go on a bird-watching walk in the woods.

The festival will also have different kinds of entertainment and games on offer for children. There will be a children's playground. They can have fun on the bouncing castles, slides, go-carts and enjoy magic shows and our Festival clowns.

Tickets for this fabulous event are €10 per person with free admission for children. So, why not bring the entire family?

The Midlands Home and Garden Festival truly is for everyone. Homeowners will be inspired by the exceptional selection of products and services on display.

Amateur gardeners will be delighted by the expert advice available and spectacular show gardens. Everyone will enjoy the relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

And they will most definitely be impressed by the stunning setting of Belvedere House.

Glorious surroundings, a family-friendly atmosphere and all the expertise you need to transform your house into your home sweet home - you'll find it all at the Midlands Home and Garden Festival, running from August 17 to 19.
