Two shows are now held each year at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, (see location & parking) where you can enjoy the purpose-built event facilities as well as fully ramped and floored marquees. Over 70% of the show is undercover and most of it is on hard surfacing, making it particularly suitable for disabled visitors and a grand day out at the North of England Flower Show - whatever the weather.

Horticultural nurseries

For many exhibitors, the two Harrogate Shows in April and September mark the beginning and end of the UK's Horticultural Show season, taking in Chelsea, Hampton Court and Tatton Park on the way. Around 90 of the country's leading horticultural nurseries will be in Flower Hall 1, once again competing for medal award cards and silver trophies and selling from their plant markets. All are specialists in their field and are happy to share their knowledge with visitors to the North of England Flower Show.

Horticultural sundries

A huge range of gardening accessories on sale: summerhouses, statues, a ceramic pot, gardening tools...we've got the lot! Much of the Showground is hard-surfaced and over 70% of the Show is under cover, either in fully ramped and floored marquees or in the two permanent exhibition halls at the North of England Flower Show.

A grand day out whatever the weather!
