The Stoke-on-Trent National Garden Festival was the second of Britain's National Garden Festivals. 

It was held in the city from 1 May to 26 October 1986, and was opened by Her Majesty the Queen.

Preparation of the site involved the reclamation of land formerly occupied by the Shelton Iron & Steel Company.
