Northern Ireland’s leading gardening event returns to Antrim Castle Gardens in 2026, but this time with a twist…

This year, Garden Show Ireland is evolving into Home and Garden Show Ireland, with exciting new features designed to inspire you to reimagine your home, both indoors and out. Running from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 June, it promises a fantastic day out for the whole family.

Join ambassadors, David Domoney and Suzanne Garuda plus special guests Marie Staunton, Paul Smyth and Jane Rea for talks, inspiration and demonstrations throughout the weekend!

Additionally, this year for the first time 70% of the show will be uncover, meaning you can explore the event without the fear of poor weather. 

And there’s more!

All 3 days of the show are jam packed with things to see, with everything from Flower Farmers and Floral Displays to Foraging and Fly Fishing! Not to speak of countryside crafts, caring for trees and wildlife.

And for those who enjoy their outdoor living, or who love their patio and pots, there’s plenty to see and do from local chefs with ideas on BBQing, sheds and gazebos for the garden, and of course a visit to the Pooch Patch for our four-legged friends who so enjoy their walks in Antrim Castle Gardens!

Perhaps all you want is a fun day out with the family, enjoying the wandering minstrels and the Music, soaking up the atmosphere with some wonderful local produce in the Food Village paired with a refreshing drink at one of the scenic sitting areas!
