We'll See You at the RHS Hampton Court Show!
The RHS Hampton Court Flower Show is one of the most anticipated flower show events of the year, alongside the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. And thankfully, it’s just around the corner! No more months of anticipation and waiting – it’s finally just a few weeks away.
And we’re excited to announce that we’ll be there, too. Our first appearance in a Southern-based flower show in over a decade! Not only will you be able to speak to our experienced staff, but you’ll also be able to shop our affordable plants for your seasonal displays. Here’s what you can expect from RHS Hampton Court and our stall this year.
What to Expect at the Show
Don’t worry, there’ll be the usual events, like talks, demos and music to experience. But that’s not all! From a selection of glorious food and drink, beautiful blooms, and lots of shopping opportunities, there’s lots to see and do around the show grounds.
Take a stroll around the show gardens, taking inspiration from the talented garden designers. Explore the Floral Marquee, which will be filled with plants and flowers grown by over 90 nurseries. And shop till you drop as you visit hundreds of trade stands (including ours!).
What's At Our Stall?

Our Plant Village stall is a collaboration piece between our RHS-trained gardening expert, Hannah Rowson, and Laura Cartmell who is head of construction. This miniature wildlife garden aims to show you how you can help wildlife thrive, whatever the size of your outdoor space. It'll be filled with pollinator-friendly plants like Achillea, Lupins, Heuchera, plus easy-to-add features that will make you go 'awh' and 'ooh'! Great things come in small packages, after all.
A Family-friendly Event
There are lots of free activities around the festival for you and your family to experience, especially for children. With hands-on activities, den-building and family fun trails! There’s no need to break the bank to entertain the whole family at RHS Hampton Court.
Take In the History of Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court is one of the most historically rich sites in London. And that’s saying something! Once home to Henry VIII and his many (many) wives over his reign, this impressive Palace holds many secrets and stories – all waiting to be told. Hampton Court is said to be his favourite palace, so don’t pass up the chance over the week to soak in its history.
Recreate Some of Your Favourite TV & Film Moments
Many of the decade's most popular films and TV shows were filmed on location at Hampton Court Palace. This includes many episodes of Bridgerton, and the spin off show Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, as well as the award-winning film ‘The Favourite’, featuring Olivia Coleman as Queen Anne, The Theory of Everything, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Great, Holmes and Watson, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and more!
Ready to see us at RHS Hampton Court? We’re excited to see what this year’s show brings, who wins coveted awards, and what shopping opportunities await. See you there!
