"The flower show runs from 19th-23rd May 2026, but note that the first two days are for members of the RHS only, so the rest of the public have three days - Thursday 21st May to Saturday 3rd May to attend. It's not a cheap show to visit, as tickets start from £107 per person - and can be bought here. There's also a show guide with a map, which costs an extra £18 on top of that. Oh, and food on the day."
"However, if you want to buy plants as well, then book tickets for the last day, Saturday, because at 4pm a ceremonial bell is rung and the plant sell-off begins. It's 90 minutes of pandemonium as normally prim and proper ladies scramble to get the best plants at bargain prices. You can bag a great plant for a bargain - bring some big strong bags (or even a collapsible trolley!)"
The Chelsea Flower Show takes place inside the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea from 19th-23rd May 2026. The first two days are reserved for RHS members, leaving public access from Thursday 21st May to Saturday 3rd May. Tickets start from £107 per person, with an optional show guide and map costing an extra £18 and food available on site. The plant sell-off begins at 4pm on the final Saturday and typically sparks 90 minutes of frenzied bargain hunting. Visitors can find great plants at reduced prices and are advised to bring strong bags or a collapsible trolley. Streets around Chelsea and Belgravia feature free floral displays that overlap with the show.
