We are now in year 27 of the annual Vegetable Masterclass Weekend.  The weekend brings together gardening enthusiasts, expert growers, and a large number of National Vegetable Society members from all over the country.   As well as being a fantastic opportunity to deepen our knowledge of our shared passion, it’s also a wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones.

We are delighted to announce that bookings are now open for this year’s event, taking place from 30 October to 1 November 2026 at the Royal Victoria Hotel, Llanberis, North Wales.

The seminar begins on Friday evening with dinner at 6:00pm, and concludes on Sunday with a traditional Welsh lunch, a warm and fitting end to what promises to be an inspiring weekend.
