26th Garden Show at Stansted Park gets the thumbs up
The Garden Show at Stansted Park, Rowland’s Castle in Hampshire goes ahead from Friday 4th September to Sunday 6thSeptember.
The showground layout at Rowlands Castle will be altered a little so that physical distancing can be maintained and other safety regulations will be implemented so you may be confident that everyone’s well-being and good health comes first. The heart of the show remains the same: to support the smaller business and have a good day out in a beautiful location. Now is the chance to be social and gather together again, albeit a little apart.
Visitors to the 26th Garden Show will have an opportunity to explore what’s on the doorstep; source new talent, designers and artisans, browse affordable and handpicked companies showcasing the latest specialist plants, garden and home accessories.
Tickets are available to the day but visitors have been strongly advised to pre book. Adults £10, seniors £8, children £3. With pre-booking you can be assured you will gain entrance to the show. Stansted house will be closed this year.
