Utterly barmy! I'm surprised anyone would consider running something like this, nor indeed attending it >:(

Yes, a surprising decision - in spite  of the  difficult  financial circumstances  faced  by  many  growers  at this  time.   I don't  see anythinig  in the  current   restriction meaures in place for  England, which permits  such events  -

Perhaps the  organiser  expects a change  in restrictions soon? It would  be  wise  to check the  applicable  restrictions  very  carefully  before  attending.

The Garden House  in devon is organising an online  festival!
