A GARDENERS' Road Show rolls into Chippenham next week, offering tips from experts, plant bargains and the latest lines in equipment.

The roadshow will take place in the Market Place on Thursday May 23, from 10am to 3pm.

The road show has been organised by Chippenham Town Council and the Chippenham Town Centre Management Partnership, and follows on from the success of last year's event.

Local growers and suppliers will be setting up stalls and selling everything from bedding plants and shrubs, to plant feed and gardening equipment.

A team of experts will be on hand to answer gardening queries, with a variety of demonstrations, such as how to put together hanging baskets and container gardens.

A steel pan soloist under the Butter Cross will perform summer medleys to make sure the event goes with a swing.

"The event proved so popular last year that both the stallholders and visitors asked for the road show to be repeated," said Emma King, town promotions and events officer.
