The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show Flower show has been held at the Hampton Court Palace since 1989. The 2008 show will be the 19th to be held on the site. The cycle of planning for the show lasts 11 months and last year over 160,000 visitors enjoyed the floral marquees and the gardens. Wear comfortable shoes as the showground covers an area of 33 acres. It takes up to 3 weeks to build a show garden, and 2 weeks to build a small garden and on the final day it's a race for the best of show during the sell-off. The sell-off starts at 4.30pm on the final day and lasts until 5.30pm when the show closes and all visitors must leave the showground. During this final hour most of the exhibitors sell off many display plants and products at knock-down prices.. RHS members can be re-admitted to the show
for the sell-off on production of an RHS membership card, receipt or ticket stub.
Non-members will need to present a receipt or proof of purchase for items to collect. |
