A flower show that prides itself on a well-earned reputation for being one of the country’s best.

It attracts trade exhibitors from far and near and they compete with each other to mount the finest displays. Result – more colour and surprises than you could possibly imagine.

Competitions, too, that produce the most innovative designs and ideas. And the show theatre which mounts a daily programme of talks and demonstrations.

All this and free entry! Truly, a great show.

First Day - Thursday 10 June

Second Day - Friday 11 June

Third Day - Saturday 12 June

Whatever your interest, if you are in a competition, you are in it to win. So you do the best you can do.

In the flower tent, the effect of that is a range of displays we can all enjoy.
