Harrogate Spring Flower Show to return from April 24 to April 27
The Harrogate Spring Flower Show is set to return this April. The event, which celebrates its 105th anniversary this year, will take place at the Great Yorkshire Events Centre (formerly the Great Yorkshire Showground) from April 24 to 27. The show, organised by the North of England Horticultural Society (NEHS), attracts more than 40,000 visitors each year, according to a spokesperson. The 2025 show will feature the Floral Hall, showcasing seasonal displays of spring blooms from dozens of UK growers, plant nurseries, and societies.

This year's floral installations will range from the classic appeal of Spring Meadow and Cottagecore to large-scale fantasy themes and gothic-inspired floral costumes. There will also be daily live competitions, where contestants will have just 90 minutes to create a large-scale display. The 2025 Show Gardens and Borders will "reflect a message of legacy for designers, charities, and organisations," with creations inspired by the value of the food we eat, as well as Bradford's status as City of Culture 2025, and the benefits of gardening in small spaces.

Nick Smith, director of Harrogate Flower Shows, said: "April is the perfect time to celebrate the awaking of our gardens after a long winter with our extravaganza of the very best in horticulture. "As the UK's biggest exhibition of specialist gardening groups, we offer inspiration in spades for gardens of all sizes, and are delighted to welcome so many designers, horticulturists, growers, colleges, and charities to the show to share their expertise with a wide audience." Tickets are available now at a discounted rate of £23 per person until April 8, or £28 after this date. The Harrogate Spring Flower Show is one of two flower shows hosted annually by the NEHS, the other being the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show; the pair of events attracts a combined audience of around 70,000 visitors each year, according to a spokesperson. In 2023, the NEHS was able to provide more than £350,000 of charitable support to horticulture through the delivery of the combined Harrogate Flower Shows, "a figure only achievable through ticket admissions."
