Walsall Arena

BBC Radio 4’s popular programme Gardeners’ Question Time comes to Walsall!

A Radio 4 institution, attracting 2 million listeners a week, two episodes of the programme will be recorded back-to-back in front of a live audience at the Arena.

Recorded in a different location each week, the long-standing radio programme has answered well over 30,000 questions since its inception in 1947.

The Gardeners’ Question Time expert panel will be answering questions submitted by the audience on the evening, so put your thinking caps on before the show! The panel never see the questions before the recording.  Their encyclopaedic, seemingly effortless answers are completely spontaneous and reveal their huge experience and depth of gardening knowledge. Being on the GQT panel is not for the faint hearted!

This event promises to build on the momentum of Walsall Arboretum’s 150th anniversary celebrations held throughout 2024.
