The BBC’s hit daytime, green-fingered makeover show Garden Rescue is heading out on the road for the very first time in 2027.
Garden Rescue LIVE is a brand-new live stage show bringing one of Britain’s best-loved gardening TV shows directly to audiences across the UK. It tours from 30 March to 11 April, arriving ahead of the show’s return to the screens for a new series, and just as gardens start coming back to life. It’s the perfect night out for picking up advice and ideas before the gardening season gets under way.
Hosted by Garden Rescue favourites Charlie Dimmock, Chris Hull, Flo Headlam and Lee Burkhill, the show offers an exclusive opportunity to step behind the scenes of the BBC series, while celebrating the joy of gardening through stories, audience participation and plenty of laughter. Together they visit Leicester, Coventry, Ipswich, Hull, Woking, Poole, Bath, Stoke-on-Trent and Edinburgh.
Garden Rescue sees Charlie, Chris, Flo and Lee transform unloved gardens up and down the nation into their owners’ dream outdoor spaces, and it has become a firm favourite thanks to its imaginative designs, real budgets and a team whose chemistry is a big part of the appeal.
Garden Rescue LIVE takes that chemistry into the theatre, with the four presenters sharing the stories behind their careers, their favourite gardens and the plants they cannot do without, alongside tales of the disasters, deadlines and unpredictable British weather that come with transforming a garden for television.
The team lift the lid on how a Garden Rescue garden is designed, budgeted and built, and what becomes of the gardens once the cameras have gone.
The audience is part of the action throughout, from a garden quiz that pits the presenters against each other to a live design challenge in which members of the public put their own garden dilemmas to the team. Questions from the audience round off the night, giving gardeners the chance to get expert advice on their own plots, and a garden-loving celebrity special joins the presenters at every show.
