Enjoying the spectacular backdrop of a Royal Palace, this wonderful flower show, held at the height of the summer, has grown from humble beginnings in 1990 to become the world's largest.  In it's early days a special train was laid on from Waterloo, and the railway porters all wore carnations in their hats!  Now with over 600 exhibitors Hampton Court includes some 50 show gardens, breathtaking floral marquees and the ever popular grow-your-own!  And in 2015 the show celebrates its 25th anniversary with some exciting additions.

Enjoy seeing new introductions and prize winning roses in the Rose Marquee, where the British Rose Festival is now famous for celebrating our national flower.  Enjoy browsing a vast array of garden products, unique water displays, and watch demonstrations from Britain's top garden designers.  Relax by the bandstand, stroll by the Thames, treat yourself to a glass of champagne- it's a wonderful day!
