Hi i want to get to a few RHS shows this year and wanted to know what shows are the best and which ones look good on tv but are all hype!
I went to hampton court flower show a couple of years ago, could not see past the crowds to the gardens, paid through the nose for a ticket and all i got was a big shopping experience.
Let me know where to get my map out for!
Cheers COSDOG
Hi Cossie! Where are you, and do you mind how far you travel?

Hi there! I went to Chelsea a couple of years ago and had the very same experience!! Try Tatton Park, much more down-to-earth, I really enjoyed it.

I think all the RHS flower shows are crowded - such a popular business!! I go to Hampton Court & Chelsea. I go to both on members days which are more expensive but a bit less crowded & I get there when it opens. Chelsea was better last year with the extra day added. I keep thinking I ought to branch out a bit & try some others.
Beejay were there lots of people at Chelsea at 8am too? I'm going this year and plan to get there at 8am.

The shows fill up pretty quickly LL but getting there early gives you a bit of a chance to perhaps see the most popular bits before too many people get in the way. Another good time is the hour before it closes when it's raining!!
Thanks beejay - I'll have my brolly ready!!!
I have only been to Tatton once and it is certainly a good show, not to big or crowded.
The Malvern spring and autumn shows are well worth a visit.
The new Cardiff show has the potential to develop into a good show. This will be the second year.
All locations have good hotels and places to see to make a weekend stay enjoyable.
