Nestled behind the truly majestic Hampton Court Palace lies the home and sprawling grounds of the UK’s largest flower show, the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. The 2025 RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and will be a source of much excitement for any garden lover.
This year it starts on Tuesday 1st July and finishes on Sunday 6th July, where visitors come from far and wide to be dazzled by the multitude of show gardens and to get lots of hands-on advice as well as endless shopping opportunities. This will be the final RHS flower show at Hampton Court before the show returns in 2027, becoming a biennial event from then on.
The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival is the world’s largest annual flower show, spanning over 34 acres, and has been running since 1990. The show is placed on either side of the Palace and consists of Show Gardens, a festival of Roses Marquee, and Floral Marquee. As well as plant pavilions, which consist of expert talks, workshops and exhibits.
With a huge increase in people taking up gardening and growing in the last few years, there are plenty of ideas to take away from a whole host of gardens, with many of the show gardens focusing on environmental issues.
Brimming with activities, sights and sounds, RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival is the perfect day out with family and friends. To find out more information and to book tickets, go to https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-hampton-court-palace-garden-festival
