Harrogate Autumn Flower Show
Join us for the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show at our fabulous new home, Newby Hall & Gardens.
Visitors to the show can also enjoy Newby Hall's award-winning gardens, live talks and demonstrations, great garden shopping and stunning floral art installations within historic Newby Hall itself.
Blooms in the rooms
Inspired by the breath-taking interiors of Newby Hall our talented teams of floral artists will create an amazing series of major plant and flower installations in the beautiful stately home rooms.
2024's theme for the hall’s interiors is ‘Nature Reclaims’
which will see Newby’s magnificent Adam interiors re-imagined with dramatic
rewilding-inspired floral art installations.
Highlights of this year’s show include the Floral Pavilion
featuring the biggest seasonal displays of autumn blooms from the UK’s best
growers, plant nurseries and societies. Visitors will discover a wide range of
plants and the splendour of the National Dahlia and National Chrysanthemum
Northern Championships
The
‘Incredible Edible’ pavilion
This area will host vegetable competitions including the
ever-popular Giant Vegetable Competition and National Onion Competition with
growers competing to beat last year’s world record-breaking 19lb 7oz onion to
win £1,500 prize money and a coveted entry into the Guinness Book of Records.
Live stages
Will share practical
gardening advice and the stories from the people behind the plants. There will
also be live demonstrations on growing and cooking with some of Yorkshire’s
fantastic produce, hosted by chef Steph Moon and garden guru Martin Walker. A
live ‘Pick and Preserve’ feature will offer practical demonstrations and tips
on how to extend your produce throughout the winter months.
Activities for children
There will be plenty of hands-on fun for young visitors to the show, plus access to Newby Hall’s fantastic adventure garden. Rides on the miniature railway and boat trips are also available at extra cost.
About Newby Hall & Gardens
Nestling on the side of the River Ure, between Harrogate and Ripon, Newby Hall is one of the finest stately homes designed by the famous 18th Century architect Robert Adam.
Its herbaceous borders are among the longest in Europe and were created by the late Major Edward Compton as the centrepiece for some 25 acres of award-winning gardens, designed and planted as ‘rooms’ to provide year-round interest. The borders have recently been completely replanted in beautiful pastel shades and will be in their full glory for the flower show!
Among Newby’s 15 different ‘rooms’ are a rose garden, water garden, tropical garden, white garden, rock garden, woodland garden and, of course, an autumn garden where hydrangea, salvia, sedum, echinacea, verbena and some 800 dahlias provide one last hurrah until the first frosts of October.
