Three days at Astley Park from 31 July to 2 August 2026. Expect gold medal-winning displays that'll make your own garden look a bit shabby, talks and demonstrations from celebrity gardeners, and a sprawling range of trade stands selling everything from rare perennials to garden furniture and accessories. It's the full flower-show experience.
The vibe
Relaxed, green-fingered, and social. You'll see serious gardeners taking notes, families wandering the grounds, and plenty of people simply soaking up a summer's day around world-class floral arrangements. Astley Park provides the perfect setting: spacious, picturesque, and made for lingering over a cup of tea and a chat about dahlias.
Getting tickets
Flower shows offer good value, and Chorley's usually reasonable for a three-day pass or single-day admission. Exact prices and booking details are available through Skiddle closer to the date. Early booking is recommended if you want to avoid queues.
