Love Loughborough Gardeners' Fair Announces 2026 Spring Return
The award-winning Love Loughborough Gardeners' Fair is set to make a vibrant comeback for the 2026 season, bringing spring cheer to the town centre. This beloved event will launch on Easter Sunday, April 5, running from 10am to 4pm across multiple locations including Devonshire Square, Cattle Market, Market Street, and Market Place.
Monthly Fair Boosts Local Economy and Community Spirit
Held on the first Sunday of each month from April through October, the fair attracts more than 80,000 visitors every year. It significantly increases footfall for local shops, cafes, and restaurants, while infusing the town centre with a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors can explore a diverse array of stalls featuring seasonal plants and flowers, shrubs and trees, succulents, rare and exotic plants, along with garden décor, artisan foods, and handmade crafts.
Expert growers will be available to offer valuable advice, helping gardeners optimise their spring planting efforts. The Furrow's Horticulture Young Gardeners stall returns for 2026, providing children with opportunities to learn about growing fruit, vegetables, and pollinator-friendly flowers. Young attendees can also participate in fun challenges such as growing the tallest sunflower, the biggest pumpkin, and the tallest beanstalk, with competitions and prizes up for grabs.
Family-Friendly Activities and Easter Celebrations
Families visiting the Easter launch event can enjoy a range of themed activities, including trails, street entertainment, crafts, and special activities at the Odeon Cinema. A special appearance from the Easter Bunny will add to the festive spirit. With convenient parking and numerous local cafés, pubs, restaurants, and shops open throughout the day, organisers highlight that the fair offers an ideal spring outing for the whole family.
Future dates for the Love Loughborough Gardeners' Fairs in 2026 are scheduled for May 3, June 7, July 5, August 2, September 6, and October 4. More details can be found through official channels, where visitors can also access discounts and offers across the town.
