Badminton RHS Flower Show 2026

RHS Badminton Flower Show

set within the beautiful South Gloucestershire countryside at Badminton House

 

Wednesday 8 to Sunday 12 July 2026

 

This is a brand new show replacing Hampton Court flower show this year.

 

You will find award-winning gardens: The prestigious RHS Medals and Awards are handed out as the show opens. Take a tour of the gardens and see if you agree with the judges. The People’s Choice vote opens at the beginning of the show, so you have a chance to vote for your favourites too.

 

There are several judged categories across the show, each with their own set of criteria. Show gardens represent the pinnacle of garden design, while the Young Designer gardens challenge designers at the start of their careers. Feature Gardens showcase local history and culture, with plenty of design inspiration for you to take home to your own spaces.

 

RHS Artisan Gardens aim to highlight and celebrate beautiful country gardens, artisan makers and crafts people. Be inspired by traditional crafts that you could try at home

The Pocket Planting Gardens invite new horticulturists to bring their first garden to an RHS Show. This mentored category offers the first opportunity for budding designers to start their show careers, and to have their designs rated by RHS.
