Harrogate Flower Shows Spring Essentials moves to May

Organisers of Harrogate Flower Shows have today announced that the Spring Essentials event will take place a month later on 20 - 23 May 2021.

The special Covid-safe outdoor flower show was due to run on its traditional dates in late April at the Great Yorkshire Showground. It has now moved to May to allow more time for the roll out of Coronavirus vaccines and for measures to combat the pandemic to take effect.

Featuring favourites like show gardens, plant nurseries and live theatres, Spring Essentials is a specially adapted, outdoor event making greater use of the many acres of parkland available at the Great Yorkshire Showground.

In addition to large-scale gardens, Square Yard pocket plots and plant displays, the event will also include expert talks and demonstrations, home and gift wares, specialist foods and up to 100 garden shopping outlets.

Due to social distancing requirements, the number of visitors will be limited each day and tickets must be purchased in advance. E-tickets with timed admission slots can be purchased online and will be on sale at www.flowershow.org.uk priced £15.
