Hampton Court Palace Flower Show

The show was first held in 1990 and created by Historic Royal Palaces and Network Southeast. In 1992 Network Southeast announced that it was withdrawing its subsidy, and the RHS was the successful bidder to take the show over. The first RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show was held in 1993, and it has gone on to become the world’s largest flower show.

The RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is held in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace in East Molesey, Surrey. The majority of visitors choose to travel to the show by road or by rail. The show begins on Monday 3rd June with the preview evening (5:30 pm - 10:30 pm) and follows on throughout the week (10 am - 7:30 pm) and ends on Sunday 9th July (10 am - 7:30 pm).
