THE POWER OF PLANTS FESTIVAL 2027
The Ultimate Celebration of All Things Herbal is Back!
After a fallow year in 2026 to recharge and regenerate, the National Institute of Medical Herbalists is thrilled to announce that the Power of Plants Festival is making its highly anticipated return in the summer of 2027!
Once again, we are gathering at our breathtaking home: the stunning Hopton Court Estate, nestled in the rolling Shropshire Hills.
Whether you are a practicing herbalist, an artisan grower, a community enthusiast, or simply curious about the incredible ways plants can improve our health and lives, this festival is built for you. Get ready for a magical weekend of learning, dancing, tasting, and community.
🌿 What’s Waiting for You in 2027?
We are taking over Hopton Court Estate’s spectacular walled garden, transforming it into a vibrant, living hub of botanical discovery.

Expert Talks & Interactive Workshops: Dive deep into the world of botany with world-class practitioners. From hands-on medicine-making demonstrations to guided botanical walks exploring plant identification and chemistry, your curiosity will be fully fed.
