The sights, sounds and tastes of summer will fill the NEC over the next few days, for the BBC Summer Festival.

The festival runs until Sunday with the popular BBC Gardeners' World Live show one of the main attractions.

Stunning show gardens and beautiful floral displays will be on show, and celebrity experts, including Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh, will be offering their own tips to audiences in the Celebrity Theatre.

They will be joined by Ben Fogle and John Craven from Countryfile who will share tales from the past 20 years of the ever-popular programme.

Visitors will also be able to sample some tasty treats at the BBC Good Food Show Summer, which runs alongside Gardeners' World Live, as part of the festival. And those who enjoy a tipple will be able to sample Beers of the World Live from Friday until Sunday.

Other themes will include making the most of your home, outdoor pursuits and caring for the environment. Full details on tickets and price packages are available at www.bbcsummerfestival.com or by ringing 0870 040 0371.
