Sandringham Flower Show Manager: New Five-Day Event is 'Affordable'

The new five-day RHS Sandringham Flower Show event will remain "affordable", the show's manager said as plans were released. Run by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), this year's programme will replace the previous one-day event and welcome exhibitors, charities and visitors in July. Concerns about the price of tickets were previously raised. The annual show cost £19 in 2025, with the 2006 event ranging up to £42 for a day ticket. Manager Jenny Laville said tickets for the event were affordable for families of four, with under-16s going free, as well as discounts being available for students and RHS members, and all events included in the price. RHS said people will be able to view a range of show gardens celebrating Norfolk's landscapes, and visit the floral marquee, which will welcome about 50 expert growers and nurseries. A fruit and vegetable competition will also be held alongside floristry displays and a host of talks and demonstrations. The Royal family will play a key role in the event, with King Charles III set to select his favourite exhibit showcasing biodiversity, and Queen Camilla will choose her favourite Upcycled Container garden. Laville said: "This year's [event], I think it's going to be probably the best year for those community cubes, and we've had so much interest in engagement. "We can't do the show without the involvement of local communities."
