Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival

Yup, Chelsea Flower Show is probably the most famous horticulturalists’ knees up in town, but it’s Hampton Court Palace that takes the crown as the world’s biggest flower show. Go along to hobknob with famous faces including Adam Frost and Kate Bradbury who'll be hosting talks and workshops. Glimpse the show gardens, which offer an example of how perfect the great outdoors can be when it's sculpted by professionals and untouched by marauding pets, wildlife and children. And surround yourself with gorgeous blooms in the festival of roses and the floral marquee, which boasts flowers to marvel at and even take home.
