Featuring the likes of Richard Osman, Mary Beard, Alexander Armstrong, Adam Frost and John Craven, ‘In Conversation at Kew Gardens‘ promises captivating discussion, laughter and lively debate. Taking place from the 4th-7th of September, the presenters will discuss career highlights, tv talk, book inspiration, life behind the cameras and topical insights.
“I’m delighted to be heading to glorious Kew Gardens this September for such a special event. Expect behind-the-scenes stories from my life as a presenter, producer and comedian with telly gossip, anecdotes and a bit of all-round television tomfoolery. I’ll also be joined by my partner-in-crime (quiz-based, of course) to bring The Best Quiz Ever to life on stage. It’s set to be an unforgettable day of TV chat, crime capers and top-notch quizzing in beautiful surroundings,” explained Osman.
Adam Frost and Frances Tophill join the event on the 6th of September, for a day of green-fingered inspiration and plant-based chat. Presenter and gardener, Nicki Chapman, and BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine editor, Kevin Smith, will be harvesting horticultural highlights, and behind-the-scenes insights from the BBC2 gardening show.
On the 7th of September, BBC Countryfile presenters, Adam Henson, Anita Rani, John Craven and Matt Baker celebrate the heart of rural Britain. Hosted by Anita Rani, the team share the lowdown on life behind the Countryfile cameras, best and worst days on location and the unpredictability of TV, countryside and the weather, including moments in the field and stories that left a lasting impression.
The event is organised by Immediate Live, organiser of consumer events such as BBC Gardeners’ World Live, Hampton Court Food Festival, Good Food Show and London Art Fair.
Adam Thow, Director of Commercial and Visitor Operations, RBG Kew, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Immediate Live to bring ‘In Conversation at Kew Gardens’ to life this September.
