Sandringham Flower Show
One of Eastern England's most prominent horticultural events
What’s England without its long-standing love and appreciation for its gardens and floristry in Norfolk, the flower show you want to showcase your vegetables, fruit, flowers and floral art is the Sandringham Flower Show. At its core, it’s a classic flower show through and through with a nod to the military with a military band, equestrian shows and gardening club competitions.
It’s a place to see the fruits of the English soil, and the event has a long tradition. The very first edition was held back in 1881, almost 140 years ago, and this fact places the Sandringham Flower Show among the longest-running flower shows in the world. Part of its lasting importance is the fact that it’s held on the grounds of Sandringham House, which used to be the country residence for the Royal Family. Funding from the flower show goes into local charities, which further help Norfolk grow and flourish.
Sandringham Flower Show 2024
Sandringham Flower Show 2024 will be held on 31.07.2024 as a live exhibition. It will take place at the Sandringham Estate and will not feature Covid-19 safety measures. This is because the UK removed its coronavirus-related restrictions. This includes the ones related to travelling to the country.
